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

                               (June 28, 2007)

Before DUBINA, BLACK and CARNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Chet Kaufman, counsel for Solomon Smith, 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 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 Smith’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
