    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jernard AKINS, a.k.a. Nardy, a.k.a. Genard Akins, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 09-13239
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    Feb. 19, 2010.
    Before CARNES, WILSON and FAY, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

John D. Harvey, appointed counsel for Jernard Akins 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 Akins’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
