                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Southern District of Florida
                       _________________________

                               (April 10, 2009)

Before BLACK, BARKETT and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

     Neal Gary Rosensweig, appointed counsel for Alberto Gonzalez in this
direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of

appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct.

1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Because independent examination of the entire

record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is

GRANTED, and Gonzalez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
