UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

DAVID LEE BEARD,
Defendant-Appellant.

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

(January 31, 2006)
Before CARNES, PRYOR and FAY, Circuit Judges
PER CURIAM:
Mark J. O’Brien, appointed counsel for David Lee Beard 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 Beard’s convictions and
sentences are AFFIRMED.
