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

                            (March 23, 2010)

Before BLACK, CARNES and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Randolph Murrell, appointed counsel for John Wilson Smith, Jr., has filed a

motion to withdraw on appeal, 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 merits

of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record

reveals no issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED,

and Smith’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
