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

                                 (June 3, 2008)

Before CARNES, BARKETT and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     John R. Francisco, appointed counsel for Freddie Barkley, Jr., 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 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 issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is

GRANTED and Barkley’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
