David Jonathon Joffe, Joffe Joffe, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, FL, for Defendant-Appellant.
Brian D. Skaret, Washington, DC, Anne R. Schultz, U.S. Attorney's Office, Miami, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. D.C. Docket No. 06-20001-CR-JAL.
Before TJOFLAT, PRYOR and FAY, Circuit Judges.
David J. Joffe, appointed appellate counsel for Edizon Ramirez-Gamboa, 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 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 Gamboa's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
