                         December 12, 2001
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Luis

Alfredo Hernandez-Melgar on appeal has moved for leave to

withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).   Hernandez-Melgar has filed a

response.   Our independent review of counsel’s brief, Hernandez-

Melgar’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous

issue.   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.

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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