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

                                 (May 6, 2009)

Before BLACK, BARKETT and HULL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     William Scully, Jr., appointed counsel for Leanthony Lee Bettis, 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). 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 issue of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and

Bettis’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
