                      for the Northern District of Florida
                        _________________________

                                 (October 29, 2012)

Before MARCUS, WILSON and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 12-11730    Date Filed: 10/29/2012   Page: 2 of 2

      Gwendolyn Spivey, appointed counsel for Ricardo Moreno 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 Moreno’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
