Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Georgia

(November 25, 2009)
Before TJOFLAT, WILSON and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Demetria Nicole Williams, appointed counsel for Russell Glenn Malone in
this appeal from the district court’s denial of Malone’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
arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the
district court’s denial of Malone’s § 3582(c)(2) motion is AFFIRMED.
