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

                                (July 30, 2007)

Before ANDERSON, BARKETT and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Gerald B. Williams, appointed counsel for Clifford Stewart, 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 arguable issue of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and

Stewart’s conviction and sentence is AFFIRMED.
