               Appeal from the United States District Court for the

                         _________________________

                               (December 7, 2007)

Before TJOFLAT, ANDERSON and HULL, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      Gwendolyn Spivey, appointed counsel for Larry Laverne Dixon 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 Dixon’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
