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

                               (August 13, 2009)

Before TJOFLAT, EDMONDSON and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     W. Charles Fletcher, appointed counsel for Alan David Eason, 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 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

Eason’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
