Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

ELRICK LOPEZ,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. 7:05-CR-200 --------------------

Before KING, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Elrick Lopez has

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

Anders v. California,

(1967). Lopez has received a

copy of counsel’s motion and brief but has not filed a response.

Our independent review of the record and counsel’s brief

discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Counsel’s 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
