Appeal from the United States District Court for the

Southern District of Alabama

_________________________

(November 30, 2005) Before ANDERSON, BIRCH and HULL, Circuit Judges PER CURIAM:

Kristen Gartman Rogers, appointed counsel for James Alexander Pryor 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 Pryor’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
