UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus HENRY LEE GORDON, JR., Defendant-Appellant.

__________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama _________________________ (October 20, 2005) Before BIRCH, BARKETT and FAY, Circuit Judges PER CURIAM: Jay Lewis, appointed counsel for Henry Lee Gordon, Jr., has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal supported by a brief prepared pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Our independent review of the 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 Gordon’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
