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

                             (December 17, 2008)

Before HULL, MARCUS and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Fredis Torres, has filed a motion to
withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief prepared 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 review of the entire record reveals no

arguably meritorious issues, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and

Torres’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
