UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

VICTOR MANUEL VARELA,

Defendant-Appellant.

--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:01-CR-271-ALL
--------------------

Before GARZA, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender, appointed to represent Victor

Manuel Varela, has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a

brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Varela has not filed a response to the motion. Our independent

review of the brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous

issues for appeal. Counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is

GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities, 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
