                     for the Northern District of Florida
                       _________________________
                            (September 13, 2005)


Before BIRCH, BARKETT and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Jonathan W. Dingus, appointed counsel for Duncan A. Walton, has filed a
motion to withdraw on appeal, 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 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

Walton’s conviction and sentence is AFFIRMED.
