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

                              (August 24, 2009)

Before MARCUS, PRYOR and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Michael T. Mullings, appointed counsel for Deangelo Johnson in this direct
criminal appeal, has 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). Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no

arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and

Johnson’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
