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

                               (May 16, 2008)

Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and BLACK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Gwendolyn Spivey, appointed counsel for Jean Michael Santiague, 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 Santiague’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
