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

                                (July 30, 2008)

Before BARKETT, MARCUS and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Travis Williams, appointed counsel for Mercutio Stokes, 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 that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of

the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals

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

Stokes’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
