           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                      USDC No. H-98-CR-429-6
                       --------------------
                         December 12, 2001
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Melvin Dwayne Osborne, Jr.,

on appeal has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief as required

by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).   Osborne has

received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief but has not filed a

response.

     Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses

no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.   Accordingly, counsel’s motion

for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED.   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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
