                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Middle District of Georgia
                      _________________________
                              (June 17, 2010)

Before EDMONDSON, BARKETT and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Rick D. Collum, appointed counsel for Leon Bernard Spikes, Sr., 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 arguably meritorious

issues, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Spikes’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
