           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                       USDC No. 4:01-CR-26
                        --------------------

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Joel

Ramirez has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in

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

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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