    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Juan Pablo GUTIERREZ, a.k.a. Pablo, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 09-12711
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    Jan. 11, 2010.
    David R. MacKusick, Stockbridge, GA, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before DUBINA, Chief Judge, BLACK and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

David R. MacKusick, appointed counsel for Juan Pablo Gutierrez 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 Gutierrez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
