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

                                (July 9, 2007)

Before ANDERSON, BARKETT and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Angelo Ferlita, appointed counsel for Angel Portocarrero-Obando in this
direct criminal 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

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 Portocarrero-Obando’s

conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
