Plaintiff-Appellee, versus CHIEMERE NICOLE THEARD, Defendant-Appellant.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama _________________________ (December 15, 2008)

Before BIRCH, CARNES and HULL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Elsie Mae Miller, appointed counsel for Chiemere Theard, 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 issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED and Theard’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
