RUDOLFO RAY TORRES, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. 6:05-CR-33-1 --------------------

Before STEWART, DENNIS, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Rudolfo Ray Torres has

filed a motion to withdraw and brief pursuant to Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Torres 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.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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