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

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Oliver Nwaeze Nkuku has filed a

motion to withdraw and a brief pursuant to Anders v. California,

386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967).   Nkuku has not filed a response.      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.
