Before SMITH, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Steven Alexander Salmon has

moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).      Salmon has not filed

a response.     Our independent review of the brief and the record

discloses no nonfrivolous issue.    Accordingly, counsel’s motion

for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.      See 5TH

CIR. R. 42.2.



     *
        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
