                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Southern District of Florida
                         ________________________

                              (November 30, 2010)

Before PRYOR, MARTIN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Howard J. Schumacher, appointed counsel for Lashante Taylor in this direct

criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the
appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 

, 

, 

(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 Taylor’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
