Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The attorney appointed to represent Chaka Zulu Herndon has

requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).    Herndon received a

review of the brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous

issues for appeal.    Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to

withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further




     *
       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.

Herndon’s right to raise claims of ineffective assistance in a

28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion.
