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

                              (March 17, 2006)

Before TJOFLAT, BIRCH and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     W. Gregory Hughes, appointed counsel for Leketa Harris 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 (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 Harris’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
