ROBERT BELTZ,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
_________________________
(October 13, 2009)
Before MARCUS, WILSON and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Louis R. Hardin, appointed counsel for Robert Beltz in this direct criminal
appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant
because, in his opinion, the appeal is without merit. Counsel has 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 Beltz’s conviction and sentence are
AFFIRMED.
