UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                   versus

DARIAN TENSLEY,

                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Middle District of Florida
                      _________________________
                            (February 25, 2009)

Before BARKETT, PRYOR and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Ellis Rexwood Curry, appointed counsel for Darian Tensley, has moved to
withdraw from further representation of the appellant and has filed a brief pursuant

to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (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 record reveals no arguable

issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the decision of the

district court is AFFIRMED.
