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

                               (March 31, 2008)

Before BARKETT, MARCUS and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Robert Adler, appointed counsel for Andres Pineda in this direct criminal
and sentencing appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

appellant and filed 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 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 arguable issues of merit,

counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Pineda’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
