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

                             (October 11, 2005)

Before DUBINA, HULL and WILSON, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

     Maryanne M. Prince, appointed appellate counsel for Alvin Lee McCary,
has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal because, in her opinion, there are no

issues of arguable merit on which to base the appeal. Counsel’s motion is

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 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 McCary’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
