Preston Lamar Williams, Marianna, FL, pro se.
Judy K. Hunt, United States Attorney's Office, Tampa, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. D.C. Docket No. 89-00004-CR-T-17-TGW.
Before BLACK, PRYOR and HILL, Circuit Judges.
Leonard E. Clark, appointed counsel for Preston Lamar Williams in this appeal from the district court's denial of Williams's motion to reduce his sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), 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 record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court's denial of relief under § 3582(c)(2) is AFFIRMED.
