KAHN CLERK D. C. Docket No. 08-00112-CR-3-RV UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus MANUEL VASQUEZ-ORTIZ, a.k.a. Arnoldo Escalante, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida _________________________ (December 17, 2009) Before TJOFLAT, BARKETT and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges PER CURIAM: Gwendolyn Spivey, appointed counsel for Manuel Vasquez-Ortiz in this direct criminal appeal has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant, because, in her 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 Vasquez-Ortiz s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. 2
