UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,

NEWTON COLOMBO PACHAY,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
_________________________
(November 16, 2005)
Before DUBINA, CARNES and HULL, Circuit Judges
PER CURIAM:
Ana M. Jhones, appointed counsel for Newton Colombo Pachay 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). Additionally, Pachay seeks appointment of
substitute counsel. 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 Pachay’s conviction and
sentence are AFFIRMED.
Pachay’s motion for appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED.
