Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Alabama

_________________________

(October 13, 2009) Before BIRCH, HULL and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

William Gregory Hughes, appointed counsel for Richard Lee Bradley 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 Bradley’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
