Dean S. Daskal, U.S. Attorney's Office, Columbus, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Gerald B. Williams, Gerald B. Williams, P.C., Albany, GA, for Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. D.C. Docket No. 06-00007-CR-WLS-1.
Before ANDERSON, BARRETT and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
Gerald B. Williams, appointed counsel for Clifford Stewart, has 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 issue of merit, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Stewart's conviction and sentence is AFFIRMED.
