Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Georgia

________________________

(Ocrtober 22, 2008) Before TJOFLAT, BARKETT and PRYOR, Circuit Judges PER CURIAM:

Wilson R. Smith, counsel for Jerome Gregory Turnquest, 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 Turnquest’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
