Before JOLLY, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Antonio Larico Smith has

requested leave to withdraw from this appeal and has filed a

brief as required by Anders v. California, 

(1967).

Smith has filed a response to counsel’s motion to withdraw.

Our independent review of the brief, Smith’s response, and the

record discloses no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.     Counsel’s

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
