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

                              (May 13, 2009)

Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Richard L. Rosenbaum, appointed counsel for Raynier Pupo, 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 issue of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and

Pupo’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
