Plaintiff-Appellee,

HENRY RICHARD HALE,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Florida
_________________________
(July 2, 2010)
Before TJOFLAT, CARNES and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Henry Richard Hale in this direct

-- 1 of 2 --

criminal appeal has moved to withdraw from further representation of the
appellant, because, in his opinion, the appeal is without merit. Counsel has 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 Hale’s convictions and sentences are
AFFIRMED.
