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

                                  (June 30, 2006)

Before DUBINA, HULL and WILSON, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      Rodney G. Gregory, retained counsel for Sheldon Dane Clark 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 Clark’s conviction and sentence

are AFFIRMED.
