                        for the Middle District of Florida
                         _________________________
                                 (March 9, 2010)

Before BARKETT, HULL and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Gerald S. Bettman, appointed counsel for Jermaine Garfield Kerr in these

two direct criminal appeals, has moved to withdraw from further representation of

the appellant in both cases 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 appeals

is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no

arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw from both appeals is

GRANTED, and Kerr’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
