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

                             (March 31, 2008)

Before BIRCH, DUBINA and BLACK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Roderick Kenenth Wims on this direct

criminal appeal, 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.E.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 Wims’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
