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

                             (January 25, 2007)

Before DUBINA, CARNES and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Joel DeFabio, appointed counsel for Jaime Higinio Buckland-Girod, 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.Ed.2d 493 (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 Buckland-Girod’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
