Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Georgia
_________________________
(January 8, 2009)
Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Patrick D. Deering, retained counsel for Salvador Ontanon-Maldonado in
this direct criminal appeal, 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 record reveals
that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Therefore,
as independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit,
counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Ontanon-Maldonado’s
conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
