                         December 14, 1999

Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Pedro

Antonio Canales-Velasquez has moved for leave to withdraw and has

filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967).   Canales-Velazques did not file a response to counsel’s

motion to withdraw.   Our independent review of counsel’s 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
