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

                           (November 26, 2007)

Before BIRCH, DUBINA and BLACK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

      David Mengers, appointed counsel for Amilcar Barros-Gomez, has filed a

motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief prepared 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 confirms counsel’s assessment of the relative merits of any

potential issues for appeal. Because the record reveals no issues of arguable merit,

we GRANT counsel’s motion to withdraw and AFFIRM Barros-Gomez’s

conviction and sentence.
