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

                               (June 17, 2008)

Before CARNES, BARKETT and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     James H. Burke, appointed counsel for William Timothy Drummond in this
direct criminal appeal, has filed a motion 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 Drummond’s conviction

and sentence are AFFIRMED.
