Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Georgia

(May 13, 2010)
Before BARKETT, MARTIN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
John R. Francisco, appointed counsel for Francisco Equihua Cervantes in

-- 1 of 2 --

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 Cervantes’s convictions
and sentences are AFFIRMED.
