                                 (March 27, 2009)

Before CARNES, BARKETT and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      George F. Murphy, Kenneth R. Ridlehoover, and Spiro T. Kypreos,

appointed counsel for Armando Cardon-Cortez, George Arman Salmoran-

Calderon, and Jorge Gomez-Montes in this direct criminal appeal, have moved to

withdraw from further representation and filed briefs 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 confirms that there are no issues of arguable merit on

appeal. Therefore, counsels’ motions to withdraw are GRANTED, and Cardon-

Cortez, Salmoran-Calderon, and Gomez-Montes’ convictions and sentences are

AFFIRMED.
