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

                              (July 25, 2007)

Before BLACK, HULL and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Brigido Guzman-Vargas (“Guzman”)
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 Guzman’s conviction and

sentence is AFFIRMED.

                                           2
