Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 2:98-CR-020(01)
---------------------
June 15, 1999
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel for William Kester Lankford moves to
withdraw as appellate counsel and has filed a brief as required
by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Lankford has not
responded to this motion. 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.
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
