                      --------------------

Before BARKSDALE, GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Cypriano Gonzales-Martinez

(Gonzales) has moved for leave to withdraw from representation

(1967).   Gonzales has filed several responses.       Our

under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

, 313-14 (5th

Cir. 1987).

     Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,

counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the

APPEAL IS DISMISSED.    All other outstanding motions are DENIED.
