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

                             (February 14, 2006)

Before CARNES, PRYOR and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Lila V. Cleveland, appointed counsel for Kizzy Tawanna Johnson 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 Tawanna’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
