                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Southern District of Florida
                         _________________________

                                  (August 13, 2009)

Before HULL, PRYOR and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Howard J. Schumacher, appointed counsel for Paul Esson, 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 Esson’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
