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

(February 27, 2009)
Before DUBINA, BLACK and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Mark G. Rodriguez, appointed counsel for Jorge Tapanes, 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 review of the entire record reveals no
arguably meritorious issues, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and
Tapanes’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
