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

                               (March 21, 2007)

Before TJOFLAT, BLACK and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     M. Allison Guagliardo, counsel for Andrew J. Stephens in this direct
criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

appellant and has 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 Stephens’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
