UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Southern District of Alabama
                        _________________________

                              (January 22, 2009)

Before BLACK, BARKETT and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Elsie Mae Miller, appointed appellate counsel for James Zell Bishop, 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 Bishop’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
