                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                    for the Western District of Louisiana
                         USDC No. 3:03-CR-30045-1


Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Yago Fountain in the
appeal of the denial of his motion to modify his sentence has moved for leave to
withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 

(1967). Fountain has filed a response. Our independent review of the
record, counsel’s brief, and Fountain’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue
for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,




      *
      Pursuant to 5 TH C IR. 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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 5 TH C IR. R. 47.5.4.

counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS
DISMISSED. See 5 TH C IR. R. 42.2.
