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

                           (February 21, 2008)

Before TJOFLAT, BIRCH and BLACK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Ryan Thomas Truskoski, appointed counsel for Remey Abelardo Tomas-
Gostas 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 Tomas’s

conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
