Before KING, Chief Judge, and DAVIS and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit
Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Juan Guadalupe Sanchez-Ramos

moves to withdraw and has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v.

California, 

(1967).    Sanchez has received copies of

counsel’s motion and brief but has not filed a response.   Our

independent review of the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.

Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,



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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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

APPEAL IS DISMISSED.   See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
