________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida _________________________ (January 12, 2007) Before MARCUS, WILSON and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Scott Kalisch, counsel for Virgilio Antonio Rodriguez Pomare ("Rodriguez") in this direct 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 Rodriguez’s convictions and sentence are AFFIRMED.
