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

                             (March 30, 2007)

Before TJOFLAT, BARKETT and HULL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Hugh B. McNatt, appointed counsel for Billy Wayne Cheney in this direct
criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of 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 the

independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit,

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

sentence are AFFIRMED.
