William Gregory Hughes, Mobile, AL, for Defendant-Appellant.
Richard H. Loftin, Mobile, AL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for-the Southern District of Alabama. D.C. Docket No. 07-00331-CR-CG.
Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and CARNES, Circuit Judges.
William Gregory Hughes, appointed counsel for Brent L. Pugh, 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 issues of arguable merit, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED and Pugh's convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
