________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida _________________________ (August 13, 2009) Before HULL, PRYOR and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Howard J. Schumacher, appointed counsel for Paul Esson, 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). 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 arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Esson’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
