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

                              (January 12, 2006)

Before ANDERSON, BIRCH and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Thomas Ostrander, appointed counsel for Lazaro Fregel 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 Fregel’s conviction and sentence

are AFFIRMED. Fregel’s motion for enlargement of time in which to file a brief

is DENIED.
