    No. 08-11232
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    Sept. 17, 2008.
    Elizabeth R. Francisco, Sinnreieh & Francisco, Macon, GA, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Dean S. Daskal, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Columbus, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    
      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.
