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

                            (February 17, 2009)

Before TJOFLAT, BIRCH and HULL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Thomas H. Ostrander, appointed counsel for Marquis Dargon in this direct
criminal and sentencing 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

Dargon’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
