    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Diricea McCANTS, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 09-15768
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    April 19, 2010.
    William Gregory Hughes, Mobile, AL, for Defendanb-Appellant.
    Steven E. Butler, Mobile, AL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Before PRYOR, MARTIN and FAY, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

William Gregory Hughes, appointed counsel for Diricea McCants 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). 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 McCants’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
