UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

WILLIAM MAURICE HOOPER, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 4:04-CR-540 --------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent William Maurice Hooper

has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required

by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Hooper has not

filed a response. Our independent review of the record and

counsel’s brief discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.

Counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is

excused from further responsibilities, 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
