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

                               (April 10, 2009)

Before BLACK, BARKETT and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

     Neal Gary Rosensweig, appointed counsel for Alberto Gonzalez in this
direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of

appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 

, 

, 

(1967). Because independent examination of the entire

record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is

GRANTED, and Gonzalez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
