UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

FIDEL ROBERTO VASQUEZ,

Defendant-Appellant.

_________________________________________________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (4:98-CR-68-ALL) _________________________________________________________________

September 21, 1999

Before DAVIS, SMITH and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Counsel for Fidel Roberto Vasquez has moved to withdraw and

has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California,

(1967). A copy of counsel’s motion and brief was mailed to

Vasquez; but, contrary to the notice also mailed to him, he has not

filed a response.

Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses

no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, the motion to

withdraw is GRANTED 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 R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
