MICHAEL CHARLES JONES, also known as Slim, also known as Silky Slim,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:98-CR-303-ALL-P --------------------

December 15, 1999

Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Michael

Charles Jones has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief as

required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Jones has

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

the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.

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

counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the

APPEAL IS DISMISSED.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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