Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-00-CR-651-1
--------------------
February 21, 2002
Before JOLLY, JONES, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent James Ray
Gay on direct appeal has filed a motion to withdraw and a brief
pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Gay
has not filed a response. Our independent review of the brief
and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue in this direct
appeal. Accordingly, the 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.
