                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Northern District of Alabama
                        _________________________

                              (April 3, 2006)

Before CARNES, BARKETT and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Temo Lopez, counsel for Meliton Lopez Solis in this direct criminal appeal,
has moved to withdraw from further representation of 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 Solis’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
