                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Middle District of Georgia
                       _________________________

                                (April 28, 2009)

Before CARNES, HULL and WILSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Cynthia Maisano, appointed counsel for Gina Mitchelle Carroll in this direct
criminal appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw from further representation,

supported by a brief prepared 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 record reveals no arguable issues of merit,

counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Carroll’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
