           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Northern District of Texas
                      USDC No. 1:02-CR-25-1-C
                        --------------------

Before DeMOSS, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel for John James Hines, the Federal Public Defender,

has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required

by Anders v. California, 

(1967).    Hines has filed

a response.    Our independent review of the brief, the response,

and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue in this direct

appeal.   Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is

GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein,

and Hines’s APPEAL IS DISMISSED.    See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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