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

                             (February 13, 2006)

Before BLACK, BARKETT and HULL, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

     Joseph R. Johnson, appointed counsel for Humberto Alvarez in this direct
criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct.

1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Our 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 Alvarez’s conviction and

sentence is AFFIRMED.
