                                   Middle District of Florida
                                 _________________________
                                        (April 1, 2009)

Before CARNES, MARCUS and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

       Maurice Grant, appointed counsel for Gwenda Green 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 Green’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
