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

                                  (February 19, 2009)

Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Jacqueline Simms-Petredis, appointed counsel for Hamili Milligan, 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 record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to

withdraw is GRANTED, and the decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.
