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

                            (November 29, 2007)

Before TJOFLAT, BLACK and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     John Badalamenti, appointed counsel for Cruz Valdovinos Mancilla 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

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 Mancilla’s convictions and

sentences are AFFIRMED.
