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

                           (November 24, 2009)

Before BARKETT, HULL and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Derrick Collins, appointed counsel for Devarus Ramon Hammond, 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). Because

independent review of the record reveals no arguably meritorious issues, counsel’s

motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Hammond’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
