Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. L-98-CR-957-1

February 16, 2000

Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Humberto Ramos-Berillos has filed a motion for leave to withdraw as counsel and a brief in support in accordance with Anders v. California,386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Ramos received a copy of counsel's motion and brief but has not filed a response. Our independent review of the record and counsel's brief reveals no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, counsel's motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities in this case, 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
