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

                               (April 20, 2009)

Before TJOFLAT, MARCUS and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Leonard E. Clark, appointed counsel for Michael Wayne Cobb in this appeal
of the district court’s denial of Cobb’s motion for sentence reduction, pursuant to

18 U.S.C. § 3582, has moved to withdraw from further representation of 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 the district court’s denial of

Cobb’s § 3582(c)(2) motion to reduce sentence is AFFIRMED.
