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

                             (February 23, 2007)

Before BLACK, MARCUS and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Ronald W. Maxwell, appointed counsel for Yahya Ali 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). In response to counsel’s Anders brief, Ali filed a brief, but

also moved for leave to file out-of-time a supplemental brief. 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, Ali’s

motion for leave is DENIED, and Ali’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
