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

                               (August 18, 2005)

Before ANDERSON, MARCUS and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Mark W. Ciaravella, appointed counsel for Zeferino Carlos in this direct

criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant

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 entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit,

counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Carlos’s conviction and sentence

are AFFIRMED.
