-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas USDC No. 4:00-CR-97-1 -------------------- June 4, 2002

Before DAVIS, BENAVIDES, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Court-appointed counsel for Steven Rayford Moore has moved

for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders

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

counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the

APPEAL IS DISMISSED. 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. Moore’s request for the

appointment of substitute appellate counsel is DENIED.
