Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 05-50531 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee, versus

CARLOS FLORES,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 5:03-CR-551-1 --------------------

Before KING, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Carlos Flores has

requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by

Anders v. California,

(1967). Flores received a

copy of counsel’s motion but filed no response. Our independent

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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