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

                                 (April 28, 2009)

Before MARCUS, PRYOR and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      Robert F. Clark, retained counsel for Michael Orange in this direct criminal

appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant because,

in his opinion, the appeal is without merit. Counsel has 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 Orange’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
