          Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Western District of Texas
                  USDC No. EP-03-CR-2342-ALL-DB
                       --------------------

Before STEWART, DENNIS, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel for Valentin Hidalgo-Peralta (Hidalgo) has moved for

leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders

v. California, 

(1967).    Hidalgo has not filed a

response to counsel’s motion.   Our independent review of the

brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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