March 13, 2009.
Joseph P. Montminy, Joyce White Vance, Birmingham, AL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
George Allen Meighen, Jr., Sprain Meighen, Birmingham, AL, for Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. D.C. Docket No. 07-00475-CR-RDP-TMP.
Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
G. Allen Meighen, appointed counsel for Tyrone Dexter Hamilton, 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 Hamilton's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
