Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Georgia
_________________________
(June 15, 2009)
Before BIRCH, BLACK and HULL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Robert Paul Phillips, III, appointed counsel for Ronald Eugene Kersey 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 Kersey’s conviction
and sentence are AFFIRMED.
