                         _________________________
                               (August 26, 2009)

Before BIRCH, HULL and HILL, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      Thomas Ostrander, appointed counsel for Daniel Edward Bolyard in this

direct criminal 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). 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 Bolyard’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED. Bolyard’s motion for the appointment of new counsel

is DENIED AS MOOT.
