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

                               (October 6, 2006)

Before BLACK, CARNES and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Robert C. Port, counsel for Darian Tensley in this direct criminal appeal, has
moved to withdraw from further representation of 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 Tensley’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
