                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                    for the Northern District of Alabama
                       _________________________

                              (March 13, 2009)

Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     G. Allen Meighen, appointed counsel for Tyrone Dexter Hamilton, 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 Hamilton’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
