Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     This   appeal    concerns   revocation   of    supervised   release.

Counsel for Alex Hamilton, Jr., has moved for leave to withdraw and

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

[

] (1967).    Although notified of his right to file a

response, Hamilton has not done so.

     Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses

no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.     See 

     *
      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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from

further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED.   5TH

CIR. R. 42.2.
