Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Georgia

(September 17, 2008)
Before ANDERSON, HULL and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Elizabeth R. Francisco, appointed counsel for John Pettiford, 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 issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED and
Pettiford’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
