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

                             (December 4, 2009)

Before BLACK, PRYOR and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     W. Charles Fletcher, appointed appellate counsel for Adan Gonzales, has
filed a motion to withdraw from further representation, 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 merit is correct. Because independent examination of

the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw

is GRANTED, and Gonzales’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
