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

                            (November 28, 2006)

Before BIRCH, PRYOR and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Duilio A. Espinosa-Montalban, appointed counsel for William Martinez 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 Martinez’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
