Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
_________________________
(July 13, 2010)
Before CARNES, MARCUS and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
James H. Burke, Jr., appointed counsel for James Robert Cotter 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 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 Cotter’s conviction and sentence
are AFFIRMED.
