Stewart Glenn Abrams, Federal Public Defender, Kathleen M. Williams, Miami, FL, for Appellant.
Anne R. Schultz, U.S. Attorney's Office, Miami, FL, for Appellee.
Appeals from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. D.C. Docket Nos. 07-20194-CR-SH, 07-20195-CR-SH.
Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
Stewart Abrams, appointed counsel for Julio Ramirez 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 Ramirez's convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
