Robin J. Farnsworth, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Federal Public Defender, Robert N. Berube, Kathleen M. Williams, Miami, FL, for Defendant-Appellant.
Emily M. Smachetti, Miami, FL, 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. 09-20068-CR-WJZ.
Before DUBINA, Chief Judge, WILSON and FAY, Circuit Judges.
Robin J. Farnsworth, appointed counsel for Hyman McWillie 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 McWillie's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
