Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 02-CR-143-ALL
--------------------
Before JONES, WIENER, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Wendell
Shelby on direct appeal has filed a motion to withdraw and a
brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967).
Shelby 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.
