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

                             (December 9, 2008)

Before ANDERSON, BLACK and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Jack Blumenfeld, appointed counsel for Andy Ameda 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 Ameda’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
