(February 5, 2009) Before BIRCH, HULL and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Robert Ratliff, appointed counsel for Aaron Austin Graham in this direct criminal 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 Graham’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
