UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Joel James LYNCH, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 09-11035
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    Oct. 22, 2009.
    Kathleen M. Williams, Jan C. Smith, II, Miami, FL, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before TJOFLAT, EDMONDSON and HILL, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Mark Graham Hanson, appointed counsel for Joel James Lynch, filed a motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief prepared 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, as well as Lynch’s response to counsel’s motion to withdraw, reveals no arguable issue of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Lynch’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
