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

                            (September 22, 2009)

Before CARNES, WILSON and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     LaRae Dixon Moore, appointed counsel for Stoney Lester, 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 the

district court’s order denying Lester’s motion for relief under 18 U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(2) is AFFIRMED.
