MARTIN SALINAS,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. DR—00-CR-653-1
--------------------
August 21, 2002
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel representing Martin Salinas has
moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance
with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Salinas was
provided with a copy of counsel's Anders motion and brief. His
initial response requesting the dismissal of his second appeal
was ambiguous; therefore, the court requested a clarification of
his response. Salinas has not responded.
