             Appeal from the United States District Court
                  for the Southern District of Texas
                         USDC No. 1:02-CR-531
                         --------------------

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Rene

Villarreal-Garcia (Villarreal) has moved for leave to withdraw

and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California,

386 U.S. 738 (1967).     Villarreal has not filed a response to

counsel’s motion.     Our independent review of the brief 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
