                   Appeal from the United States District Court

                         _________________________

                                  (June 8, 2012)

Before CARNES, WILSON and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      Clyde M. Taylor, Jr., appointed counsel for James Santos 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 Santos’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
