December 10, 1998
Before DAVIS, DeMOSS and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel for Oscar Rios-Pena has moved for
leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Rios-Pena has not filed a
response. Our independent review of the brief and the record
discloses no nonfrivolous issue. Accordingly, the motion for
leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further
responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
