Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Florida

_________________________

(December 1, 2009) Before CARNES, MARCUS and COX, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Monique A. Brochu, appointed counsel for Rosa Serrano, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant, because, in her opinion, the appeal is without merit. Counsel 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 entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Serrano’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
