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

                                (July 3, 2008)

Before EDMONDSON, Chief Judge, ANDERSON and HULL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Kristen Gartman Rogers, appointed counsel for Arthur James Williams, Jr.,
in this appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant

and has 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 record reveals no arguable issues of merit,

counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Williams’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
