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

                             (March 27, 2008)

Before EDMONDSON, Chief Judge, BIRCH and DUBINA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Roland Falcon, appointed counsel for William Michael Koster on this direct

criminal appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal supported by a brief

prepared pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.E.2d

493 (1967). Our independent review of the 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 Koster’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
