________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia _________________________ (September 21, 2005) Before BIRCH, BARKETT and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Thomas G. Ledford, appointed counsel for Donald Keith Lawson in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of 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 Lawson’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
