                      for the Middle District of Florida
                       _________________________

                              (January 15, 2008)

Before EDMONDSON, Chief Judge, BIRCH and DUBINA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Charles L. Truncale, Esq., appointed counsel for Juan Rosario Perez, 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 counsel’s assessment of the relative

merit of the appeal is correct. Independent examination of the entire record reveals

no arguable issues of merit, therefore, counsel’s motion to withdraw is

GRANTED, and Perez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
