               Appeals from the United States District Court for the
                          Southern District of Florida
                         _________________________
                              (November 29, 2005)

Before BLACK, CARNES and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Joel D. Robrish, counsel for Demetrius Sears in these direct criminal

appeals, 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 Sears’s convictions and

sentences are AFFIRMED.
