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

                              (March 29, 2006)

Before BLACK, BARKETT and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Lynn Fant, appointed counsel for Humberto Sosa in this direct criminal
appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw from further representation of the appellant

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 Sosa’s convictions and

sentences are AFFIRMED.
