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

                            (January 6, 2006)


Before DUBINA, HULL and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      David J. Joffe, appointed counsel for Ray Plair 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 Plair’s convictions and sentences are

AFFIRMED.
