[DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ MAY 27, 2008 THOMAS K. KAHN No. 07-10896 CLERK Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ D. C. Docket No. 04-00478-CR-RWS-1-1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus WILLIAM ELLIOTT HICKS, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia _________________________ (May 27, 2008) Before TJOFLAT, BLACK and MARCUS, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Richard A. Grossman, appointed counsel for William Hicks, 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 Hicks s convictions and aggregate sentence are AFFIRMED. Also, while counsel s motion to withdraw was pending, Hicks filed three motions to compel production of transcripts and other documents. As neither the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedures nor the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure authorize discovery on appeal, Hicks s motions are DENIED. 2
