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

(September 1, 2005)
Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and BLACK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Leon Daniel Watts, counsel for Samuel Lee Middleton, 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 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
Middleton’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
