UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
TOMAS RIVERA,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
_________________________
(January 5, 2010)
Before DUBINA, Chief Judge, BIRCH and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Robert C. Hill, appointed counsel for Tomas Rivera in this direct criminal
-- 1 of 2 --
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 renewed motion to withdraw is GRANTED and Rivera’s conviction and
sentence are AFFIRMED.
