Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Georgia

(June 17, 2010)
Before EDMONDSON, BARKETT and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Rick D. Collum, appointed counsel for Leon Bernard Spikes, Sr., in this
direct 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 arguably meritorious
issues, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Spikes’s conviction and
sentence are AFFIRMED.
