                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                    for the Northern District of Georgia
                      _________________________

                            (November 19, 2009)

Before BARKETT, PRYOR and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Beth E. Edmondson, appointed counsel for Leonardo Nunez-Virraizabal 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 Nunez-Virraizabal’s

conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.

                                           2
