                       for the Middle District of Florida
                        _________________________

                                  (April 29, 2014)

Before MARCUS, MARTIN and FAY, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      Meghan Ann Collins, appointed counsel for Jose Macedo 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
              Case: 13-13774    Date Filed: 04/29/2014   Page: 2 of 2


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 Macedo=s conviction and sentence

are AFFIRMED.
