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

                               (February 28, 2007)

Before BLACK, MARCUS and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Michael Paul Dupaquier 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 Dupaquier’s

conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
