Opinion
No. 09-10397. Non-Argument Calendar.
December 4, 2009.
Judy K. Hunt, United States Attorney's Office, Tampa, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Thomas H. Ostrander, Bradenton, FL, for Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. D.C. Docket No. 08-00163-CR-T-24TGW.
Before EDMONDSON, BIRCH and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
Thomas H. Ostrander, appointed counsel for Curtis Norris, 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). Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no issues of arguable merit, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Norris's convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED. Norris's motion for an extension of time to file a pro se response, and for an order directing counsel to forward the case file and records, is DENIED AS MOOT.
