UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

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

                                 (June 21, 2010)

Before EDMONDSON, BIRCH and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Jacqueline Shapiro, appointed counsel for Arthur Jones 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 the denial of Jones’s motion to

reduce his sentence per 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and Amendment 706 is

AFFIRMED.

                                          2
