Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

JUAN FRANCISCO ZUNIGA,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-99-CR-457-13 -------------------- November 16, 2001

Before JOLLY, DAVIS and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Andrew J. Williams, counsel appointed to represent Juan

Francisco Zuniga, has requested leave to withdraw as counsel and

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

(1967). Zuniga did not file a response to counsel’s motion

to withdraw. Our independent review of the brief and record

discloses no nonfrivolous issue. Accordingly, the motion for

leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. 5th Cir.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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