          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Southern District of Texas
                      USDC No. B-02-CR-59-2
                       --------------------

Before DeMOSS, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Jose Lucas Arteaga-Rodriguez

has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required

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

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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