MIGUEL ANGEL CONTRERAS-ARAIZA,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. A-03-CR-162-ALL-SS --------------------

Before DAVIS, SMITH and DENNIS, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:*

Court-appointed counsel for Miguel Angel Contreras-Araiza

(Contreras) has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed briefs in

accordance with Anders v. California,

response. Our independent review of the briefs and the record

discloses no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly,

counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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