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

                              (April 15, 2009)

Before: MARCUS, PRYOR and COX, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:
      Michael B. Cohen, appointed counsel for Herbert Siler in this direct criminal

appeal, 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 Siler’s conviction and sentence

are AFFIRMED.
