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

                                (August 1, 2005)

Before BLACK, PRYOR and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     David J. Joffe, counsel for Freddy DeJesus 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 DeJesus’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
