UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ROBERT ALLEN,
Defendant-Appellant.
________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Georgia
_________________________
(February 16, 2010)
Before HULL, WILSON and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
W. Vincent Settle, III, appointed counsel for Robert Allen, in this direct
-- 1 of 2 --
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 Allen’s conviction and sentence are
AFFIRMED.
