Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 06-41345 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

MANUEL VEGA-MALAGA,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 1:04-CR-380-ALL --------------------

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

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Manuel

Vega-Malaga has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief

in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Vega-Malaga has not filed a response. Our independent review of

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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