                             (September 10, 2012)

Before BARKETT, PRYOR and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      Thomas John Bulter, appointed counsel for Wilens Bertrand 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.
              Case: 11-14431    Date Filed: 09/10/2012   Page: 2 of 2


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 Bertrand’s convictions and

sentences are AFFIRMED.
