KAHN ________________________ CLERK D.C. Docket No. 07-00135-CR-KD UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus MICHAEL ORANGE, Defendant-Appellant. __________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama _________________________ (April 28, 2009) Before MARCUS, PRYOR and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges PER CURIAM: Robert F. Clark, retained counsel for Michael Orange in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant because, in his opinion, the appeal is without merit. Counsel has 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 Orange’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED. 2
