    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Alfred Lee CASON, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 08-15990
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    June 22, 2009.
    Sonya Margaret Rudenstine, Gainesville, FL, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Terry Flynn, U.S. Attorney’s Office, N.D. of Florida, E. Bryan Wilson, Tallahassee, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Before BIRCH, CARNES and HULL, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Sonya Rudenstine, appointed counsel for Alfred Lee Cason 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 Cason’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
