    No. 08-15064
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    April 29, 2009.
    Orlando Maldonado, Miami, FL, pro se.
    Anne R. Schultz, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Miami, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Before CARNES, WILSON and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

David J. Joffe, appointed counsel for Orlando Maldonado 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 Maldonado’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
