Appeal from the United States District Court

(July 26, 2010)
Before EDMONDSON, MARTIN and HILL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
John R. Francisco, appointed counsel for Tavares Middlebrooks, has filed a

-- 1 of 2 --

motion to withdraw from further representation, supported by a brief prepared
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 is correct. Because independent examination of
the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw
is GRANTED, and Middlebrooks’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
