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

                              (January 29, 2009)

Before BLACK, PRYOR and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Thomas John Butler, appointed counsel for Kendell Lee Starks in this
appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and

filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396,

18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Because independent examination of the entire record

reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED,

and Starks’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
