Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The attorney appointed to represent Gabriel Benitez-

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

in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Our independent review of counsel’s brief, Benitez-Villafuerte’s

response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issues for

appeal.

     Accordingly, counsel’s 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.

     *
       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
