    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Nelson DUARTE, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 08-17069
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    Dec. 30, 2009.
    
      Before BLACK, PRYOR and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Humberto Dominguez, appointed counsel for Nelson Duarte 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). Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Duarte’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
