Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Georgia
_________________________
(January 11, 2010)
Before DUBINA, Chief Judge, BLACK and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
David R. MacKusick, appointed counsel for Juan Pablo Gutierrez 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 arguable issues of
merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Gutierrez’s conviction
and sentence are AFFIRMED.
