UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
DANIEL GONZALEZ,
a.k.a. Jaime Mora, a.k.a. Francisco Villareal,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
_________________________
(May 17, 2006)
Before TJOFLAT, BLACK and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Jerry S. Theophilopoulos, appointed counsel for Daniel Gonzalez in his
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 Gonzalez’s conviction and
sentence are AFFIRMED.1
1
Counsel’s motion to stay the briefing schedule until Gonzalez had time to review
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is now moot. Gonzalez responded to Counsel’s motion on
February 28, 2006, and we considered the response in our decision.
