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

                              (February 7, 2006)

Before CARNES, BARKETT and PRYOR, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

     Patrick L. Jackson, appointed counsel for Benjy Neil Allums, 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

Allums’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
