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

                             (February 18, 2009)

Before CARNES, WILSON and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Ellis Rexwood Curry, IV, appointed counsel for Aleem Hussain in this
direct criminal and sentencing 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). Because independent

examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s

motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Hussain’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
