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

                                 (June 21, 2006)

Before TJOFLAT, BIRCH and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     David J. Joffe, counsel for Fedencio J. Arellano in this direct criminal
appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of 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 Arellano’s convictions and sentences are

AFFIRMED.
