Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
Before HULL, MARCUS and MARTIN, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:
James H. Burke, Jr., appointed counsel for Carl Leverne Pender, Jr., 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 (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 Pender's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
