-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. B-99-CR-182-3 -------------------- August 23, 2000 Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Counsel appointed to represent Eliseo Regino-Hernandez has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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