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

                             (August 3, 2006)

Before CARNES, PRYOR and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Gwendolyn Spivey, appointed counsel for Aurelio Martinez-Abundiz in this

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 Martinez-Abundiz’s conviction

and resulting sentence are AFFIRMED.
