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

                                (July 3, 2007)

Before ANDERSON, BIRCH and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     J. Rafael Rodriguez, appointed counsel for Harvey Oliver Layne 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 (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 Layne’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
