Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
_________________________
(August 21, 2009)
Before BLACK, BARKETT and COX, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Stephen J. Langs, appointed counsel for Joseph R. Gorman in this direct
criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the
appellant and filed 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 examination of the entire record reveals no arguable
issue of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Gorman’s
conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
