Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
_________________________
(August 16, 2010)
Before BLACK, HULL and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

-- 1 of 2 --

Michael Tarre, appointed counsel for Rafael Rodriguez, has filed a motion to
withdraw on appeal 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 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
Rodriquez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
