Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama _________________________ (June 10, 2009)

Before BIRCH, HULL and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

John Carlton Taylor, appointed counsel for Benjamin Shane Foster in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief prepared 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 Foster’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
