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

                                (June 15, 2009)

Before CARNES, WILSON and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     D. Nicole Williams, appointed counsel for Keith Blackwell in this appeal
from the denial of relief under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), has moved to withdraw

from further representation and filed a brief prepared 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 issue of merit,

counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the denial of Blackwell’s

§ 3582(c)(2) motion is AFFIRMED.
