Thomas John Butler, Thomas Butler, P.A., Miami Beach, FL, for Defendant-Appellant.
Anne R. Schultz, U.S. Attorney's Office, Miami, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. D.C. Docket No. 08-14042-CR-KMM.
Before TJOFLAT, BIRCH and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
Thomas John Butler, appointed counsel for James M. Henderson, 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 Henderson's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
