Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida

(February 26, 2008)
Before BIRCH, DUBINA and CARNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Robert S. Gershman, appointed counsel for Gary J. Pierce in this 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 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 Pierce’s sentence is AFFIRMED.
