           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. 7:04-CR-188-ALL
                       --------------------

Before KING, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jesse

Martinez has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief

in accordance with Anders v. California, 

(1967).

Martinez has not responded to counsel’s motion.   Our independent

review of the record and counsel’s brief shows that there are no

nonfrivolous issues for appeal.   Accordingly, the motion for

leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and this 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
