                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Middle District of Florida
                         _________________________

                                  (May 28, 2008)

Before BIRCH, DUBINA and BLACK, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      Grady C. Irvin, Jr., appointed counsel for Amin Hernandez-Perea in this

direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 

, 

, 

(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 Hernandez-Perea’s conviction

and sentence are AFFIRMED.
