Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 05-50571 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

WILLIAM LANDY DOWELL, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. 6:03-CR-254-5 --------------------

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Counsel appointed to represent William Landy Dowell has

requested leave to withdraw from this appeal and has filed a

brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Dowell has received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief but has

not filed a response. Our independent review of the brief and

the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for 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.

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
