UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ARTHUR JONES,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
_________________________
(June 21, 2010)
Before EDMONDSON, BIRCH and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Jacqueline Shapiro, appointed counsel for Arthur Jones in this direct
-- 1 of 2 --
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 the denial of Jones’s motion to
reduce his sentence per 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and Amendment 706 is
AFFIRMED.
