Plaintiff-Appellee, versus ALFRED THOMPSON, Defendant-Appellant.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida _________________________ (August 13, 2007) Before DUBINA, BLACK and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Thomas F. Almon, appointed counsel for Alfred Thompson 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 Thompson’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
