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

                              (March 9, 2006)

Before ANDERSON, BIRCH and BARKETT, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

     Gerald B. Williams, appointed appellate counsel for Sean Crawford, 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 Crawford’s convictions and sentences are

AFFIRMED. In addition, Crawford’s motion for substitution of appointed

counsel is DENIED.
