Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-95-CR-142-6
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Steve Baxley, court-appointed attorney for Alvaro Riojas,
has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required
by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Riojas has filed a
letter stating that he does not object to the motion to withdraw.
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.
