             Appeal from the United States District Court
                   for the Western District of Texas
                       USDC No. 3:04-CR-2304-ALL
                          --------------------

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Jose Saul Martinez on appeal

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

by Anders v. California, 

(1967).     Martinez has not

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

record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.       Accordingly,

the 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
