UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

ROBERT JAMES COOK,

Defendant-Appellant.

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

(March 1, 2006)

Before BLACK, CARNES and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Ann Day Lawrence, appointed counsel for Robert James Cook 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 Cook’s conviction and sentence

are AFFIRMED.
