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

                            (September 27, 2006)

Before ANDERSON, BIRCH and HULL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Kristen Gartman Rogers, appointed counsel for Charles Lee Taylor 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 Taylor’s convictions and

sentences are AFFIRMED.
