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

                            (April 14, 2009)

Before BARKETT, MARCUS and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Cynthia J. Hernandez, appointed counsel for Rufino Medrano in this direct

criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation 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 confirms that

there are no issues of arguable merit on appeal. Therefore, counsel’s motion to

withdraw is GRANTED, and Medrano’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
