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

Before BLACK, BARKETT and HULL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Valentin Rodriguez, appointed counsel for Cristobal Gonzales in this direct

criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation 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 confirms that

there are no issues of arguable merit on appeal. Therefore, counsel’s motion to

withdraw is GRANTED, and Gonzales’s convictions and sentences are

AFFIRMED.
