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

                               (August 17, 2009)

Before CARNES, WILSON and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     John S. Mills and Jessie L. Harrell, appointed counsel for Stephen Eugene
Crawford in this direct criminal appeal, have 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). Our independent review of

the entire record reveals that counsels’ assessment of the relative merit of the

appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no

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

Crawford’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
