Appeal from the United States District Court for the

Southern District of Florida

_________________________

(May 9, 2005) Before CARNES, MARCUS and GODBOLD, Circuit Judges PER CURIAM:

David J. Joffe, retained counsel for Luis Ospina 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 Ospina’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
