             Appeal from the United States District Court
                  for the Southern District of Texas
                        USDC No. B-98-CR-532-1
                         --------------------

                               November 24, 1999

Before JONES, STEWART, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:1

      The    Federal   Public    Defender,      court-appointed    counsel    for

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

   (1967),    and    Resa   has    filed   a   response.     Our

independent     review    of    the    briefs      and   record   discloses   no

nonfrivolous issue.      Accordingly, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and the appeal is dismissed.

      MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
