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

(May 19, 2006)
Before TJOFLAT, HULL and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Marc James Ayers, appointed counsel for Steven Ray Hall 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 (1967).
Hall was provided a copy of the brief and has not filed any opposition to the
motion.
Our independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s thorough
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 Hall’s conviction and sentence are
AFFIRMED.
