                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Middle District of Florida
                      _________________________

                             (January 12, 2007)

Before MARCUS, WILSON and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Scott Kalisch, counsel for Virgilio Antonio Rodriguez Pomare
("Rodriguez") in this direct 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

Rodriguez’s convictions and sentence are AFFIRMED.
