Before DeMOSS, PARKER, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Fernando

Silva-Real has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in

accordance with Anders v. California,

Real was notified of counsel’s motion and brief and did not file a

response.

no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.      Accordingly, counsel’s motion

that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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

responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.   See 5TH CIR.
