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

                                 (June 13, 2005)

Before CARNES, MARCUS and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Christopher N. Patterson, appointed counsel for Demetrius Lamar Love, in this

direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw and has 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 record

reveals no issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and

Love’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
