Plaintiff-Appellee, versus RICKY EUGENE PATTERSON, a.k.a. Alvin Patterson, Defendant-Appellant.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida _________________________ (December 2, 2008) Before BIRCH, HULL and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Stephen J. Golembe, appointed counsel for Ricky Eugene Patterson, 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 review of the entire record reveals no arguably meritorious issues, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and we AFFIRM.
