                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Northern District of Florida
                            _________________________

                                   (April 13, 2006)

Before ANDERSON, BIRCH and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Jeremy Leal, has moved to withdraw

from further representation of Leal, because, in his opinion, the appeal is without

merit. Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87

S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Independent review of the entire record

reveals that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct.

Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of

merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Leal’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
