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

                              (August 1, 2008)

Before TJOFLAT, MARCUS and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Noel G. Lawrence, appointed counsel for Wardell Gordon, has filed a
motion to withdraw on appeal supported by a brief prepared 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 issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED and

Gordon’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
