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

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Francisco Arroyo-Hernandez has

filed a motion and brief as required by Anders v. California, 386

U.S. 738 (1967).   Our independent review of the brief, Arroyo’s

response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.

Accordingly, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
