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

                              (July 20, 2005)

Before DUBINA, HULL and WILSON, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:
      Gerald S. Bettman, appointed counsel for Kurt Allen Kimble in this direct

criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of Kimble 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 arguable issues of merit,

counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Kimble’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
