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


                                  (May 12, 2005)

Before BIRCH, BARKETT and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

BY THE COURT:

      Sheryl Joyce Lowenthal, appointed counsel for Denniston Glenroy Bent in

this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw 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

record reveals no issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is

GRANTED, and Bent’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
