Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the
Middle District of Florida
_________________________
(October 25, 2005)
Before TJOFLAT, CARNES and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Ronald S. Tulin, appointed counsel for Gustavo Paz De La Cruz 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 De La Cruz’s conviction and
sentence are AFFIRMED.
