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

                            (November 8, 2006)

Before TJOFLAT, BLACK and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Spyro Theodore Kypreos, appointed counsel for William J. Abraczinskas on
this direct criminal appeal, 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.E.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 Abraczinskas’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
