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

                                (March 26, 2010)

Before TJOFLAT, WILSON and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Richard L. Rosenbaum, appointed counsel for Joe L. Adams, 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). 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 arguably meritorious issues, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and

Adams’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
