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

                                (April 10, 2009)

Before EDMONDSON, Chief Judge, CARNES and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Oliver R. Register, counsel for Christopher L. Tobbie in this direct criminal
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 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 Tobbie’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
