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

                             (February 10, 2006)

Before BLACK, BARKETT and HULL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Melissa Steed, has filed a motion to
withdraw on appeal supported by a brief prepared 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 Steed’s

convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
