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

                            (November 25, 2009)

Before TJOFLAT, WILSON and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Demetria Nicole Williams, appointed counsel for Russell Glenn Malone in
this appeal from the district court’s denial of Malone’s motion to reduce his

sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), 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 the

district court’s denial of Malone’s § 3582(c)(2) motion is AFFIRMED.

                                           2
