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

                                (July 26, 2007)

Before DUBINA, CARNES, and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Evans D. Prieston, counsel for Rene Urena Gonzalez 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 (1967).

Our independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s assessment of

the relative merit of the appeal is correct.   As independent examination of the

entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is

GRANTED, and Gonzalez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
