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

                             (February 13, 2012)

Before BARKETT, WILSON and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     Alvin E. Entin, appointed counsel for Eduardo Lopez-Hernandez in this
direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

appellant and has 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 issues of

arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Lopez-

Hernandez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
