UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

MICHAEL RAY WEST,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:02-CR-97-1-Y --------------------

Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender, counsel for Michael Ray West,

has filed a motion for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as

required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). West 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
