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

                            (December 18, 2009)

Before CARNES, HULL and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Rodney Jerome McNabb in this direct
criminal 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 (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 McNabb’s §

3582(c)(2) motion is AFFIRMED.
