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

                               (May 15, 2006)

Before TJOFLAT, ANDERSON and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Luis Salvador Saucedo-Gonzalez 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 Saucedo-Gonzalez’s

conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. Saucedo-Gonzalez’s motion for

appointment of new counsel is DENIED as moot.
