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

                              (January 4, 2008)

Before ANDERSON, HULL and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     William N. Norris, appointed counsel for Piedad Elena Echavarria 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

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 Echavarria’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
