(January 13, 2010)
Before EDMONDSON, BLACK and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Leonard E. Clark, appointed counsel for George Pearson, Jr. in this appeal of

-- 1 of 2 --

the denial of a motion to reduce sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c), has filed a
motion to withdraw, supported by 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 the
denial of the motion to reduce sentence is AFFIRMED.
