No. 02-11322 Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee, versus

RONALD LEE COOPER,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:95-CR-158-1-Y --------------------

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

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender, court-appointed counsel for

Ronald Lee Cooper, has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a

brief pursuant to Anders v. California,

(1967).

Cooper has received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief, but 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
