                        --------------------
           Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Eastern District of Texas
                       USDC No. 1:02-CR-73-1
                        --------------------

Before JONES, WIENER, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender, court-appointed counsel for

William Vivar-Lopez, has moved for leave to withdraw and has

filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 

(1967).   Vivar-Lopez has not filed a response.     Our review of the

briefs and of the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for

appeal.   Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is

GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities, and

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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