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

                               (October 18, 2006)

Before BARKETT, MARCUS and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Philip Reizenstein, counsel for Raymundo Fuertes in this direct criminal

appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and has
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 Fuertes’s convictions and

sentences are AFFIRMED.
