          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Northern District of Texas
                      USDC No. 5:01-CR-47-3
                       --------------------

Before JONES, WIENER, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Gustavo Galindo Ramirez

(Ramirez) has moved for leave to withdraw from this appeal and

has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 

(1967).    Ramirez has received a copy of counsel’s motion and

brief but 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,




     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                          No. 01-11413
                               -2-

counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the

APPEAL IS DISMISSED.

See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
