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

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. H-95-CR-142-6

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

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Steve Baxley, court-appointed attorney for Alvaro Riojas, 

has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required

by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Riojas has filed a

letter stating that he does not object to the motion to withdraw. 

Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses no

nonfrivolous issue in this direct appeal. Accordingly, the

motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from

further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. 

See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
