UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

KENNETH RANDALL, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana USDC No. 88-CR-261-D -------------------- October 30, 2002

Before DeMOSS, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender, court-appointed counsel for

Kenneth Randall, has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a

brief pursuant to Anders v. California,

(1967).

Randall has received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief, but he

has not filed a response.

Our review of the brief filed by counsel and of the record

discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, the

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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