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

                              (March 6, 2007)

Before ANDERSON, BARKETT and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Duilio A. Espinosa-Montalban, appointed counsel for Jose Ruiz-Zaragoza,
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 arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is

GRANTED, and Ruiz-Zaragoza’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.

                                          2
