Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Jeffrey Simpson, the federal

public defender (FPD), has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel

and brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967).   Simpson has not filed a response.    Our independent

review of counsel’s brief and the record discloses no

nonfrivolous issue for 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.

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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