                   for the Southern District of Georgia
                      ________________________

                              (May 7, 2014)

Before PRYOR, MARTIN and JORDAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 12-12463     Date Filed: 05/07/2014   Page: 2 of 2


      E. Vaughn Dunnigan, appointed counsel for Kevin Lamont Gourdine 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 Gourdine’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
