Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Florida

_________________________

(December 17, 2008) Before HULL, MARCUS and FAY, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Fredis Torres, 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 review of the entire record reveals no arguably meritorious issues, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Torres’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
