Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida _________________________ (April 29, 2009)

Before BIRCH, HULL and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Randolph Murrell, appointed counsel for Shelton Purdue, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and has 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 counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.
