June 14, 2000
Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Alejandro
Santamaria-Borjas has filed a motion to withdraw and a brief as
required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Santamaria filed a response asking that his appeal be dismissed
because he cannot afford to pursue it, although he is represented
by court-appointed counsel in this appeal.
Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses
no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, the motion to
withdraw is granted, counsel is excused from further
