UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Daniel GONZALEZ, a.k.a. Jaime Mora, a.k.a. Francisco Villareal, Defendant-Appellant, 180 F. App'x 889

PER CURIAM: Jerry S. Theophilopoulos, appointed counsel for Daniel Gonzalez in his 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 Gonzalez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. . Counsel’s motion to stay the briefing

schedule until Gonzalez had time to review Counsel’s motion to withdraw is now moot. Gonzalez responded to Counsel’s motion on February 28, 2006, and we considered the response in our decision.
