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

                                   (February 18, 2009)

Before BLACK, BARKETT and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Kristen Rogers, appointed counsel for Juan Ornelas 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). Because independent examination of the entire record reveals

no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and

Ornelas’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
