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

                              (January 25, 2006)

Before TJOFLAT, BLACK and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     David J. Joffe, appointed counsel for Anthony Boatwright, has filed a
motion to withdraw on appeal supported by a brief prepared pursuant to Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Our independent

review of the 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

Gordon’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
