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

                              (August 27, 2008)

Before DUBINA, BLACK and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Michael Johnson, appointed counsel for Cecilio Hernandez-Palacios, has
filed a motion to withdraw on appeal supported by 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 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

Hernandez-Palacios’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
