                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                    for the Southern District of Alabama
                       _________________________

                               (July 13, 2006)

Before MARCUS, WILSON and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Peter J. Madden, appointed counsel for Gary Wayne Allman 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 Allman’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
