November 17, 2010.
L. Elizabeth Lane, Macon, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Michelle Schieber, Macon, GA, for Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. D.C. Docket No. 09-00045-CR-HL-5.
Before DUBINA, Chief Judge, TJOFLAT and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
Elizabeth Lane, appointed counsel for Juan Herrera-Barajas, filed a motion to withdraw on appeal supported by a brief prepared 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 Herrera-Barajas's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
