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

                               (April 16, 2009)

Before CARNES, WILSON and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Leonard E. Clark, appointed counsel for Azell James Macon, in this appeal
from the denial of relief under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), 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). In a pro se

response to counsel’s motion, Macon has moved for appointment of counsel.

Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of

merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, the denial of Macon’s

§ 3582(c)(2) motion is AFFIRMED, and Macon’s motion for appointment of new

counsel is DENIED as moot.
