           Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Western District of Texas
                     USDC No. EP-03-CR-304-7-DB
                        --------------------

Before KING, Chief Judge, and HIGGINBOTHAM and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Manuel Jesus Medrano has moved

for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v.

California, 

(1967).    Medrano has not filed a

response to the motion.    Our review of the brief and 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
