United States v. Rodney Cornelius Brown

[DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT U.S. COURT OF APPEALS ________________________ ELEVENTH CIRCUIT JUNE 11, 2009 No. 08-16519 THOMAS K. KAHN Non-Argument Calendar CLERK ________________________ D. C. Docket No. 93-00221-CR-T-24-TGW UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus RODNEY CORNELIUS BROWN, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida _________________________ (June 11, 2009) Before BLACK, BARKETT and HILL, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Leonard E. Clark, appointed counsel for Rodney C. Brown in this appeal from the district court’s denial of Brown’s motion to reduce his sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), 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 issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s denial of relief under § 3582(c)(2) is AFFIRMED. 2
