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

                                 (August 9, 2006)

Before TJOFLAT, BLACK and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      E. Brian Lang, appointed counsel for James Ernest Luckie, has moved to

withdraw from further representation of Luckie, 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 Luckie’s

convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
