Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Counsel for Marvin Ray Easter has filed a brief as required
by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), alleging that there
are no meritorious issues for appeal. Easter filed a pro se
brief raising additional issues. Our independent review of the
briefs and record discloses no issue of arguable merit.
Therefore, the motion of counsel to withdraw is GRANTED, and the
appeal is DISMISSED.
