                   Appeal from the United States District Court

                         _________________________

                                (March 20, 2008)

Before DUBINA, BLACK and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Christopher N. Patterson, appointed counsel for John Q. Durfey 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 Durfey’s convictions and

sentences are AFFIRMED.
