                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Southern District of Alabama
                          _________________________

                               (September 10, 2008)

Before BIRCH, DUBINA and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      William Gregory Hughes, appointed appellate counsel for Geary Hill, 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 Hill’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
