                                 (July 11, 2005)

Before CARNES, BARKETT and MARCUS, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      Robert A. Dennis, Jr., appointed counsel for Joseph Shane Cooley 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, 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 Cooley’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
