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

                                  (August 9, 2006)

Before TJOFLAT, BIRCH and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Monique A. Brochu, appointed counsel for Quason Ratrone Gray 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 Gray’s convictions and

sentences are AFFIRMED.
