                          Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the Northern District of Georgia
                                ________________________

                                       (April 22, 2011)

Before BARKETT, MARCUS and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

         Mary Erickson, appointed counsel for Christopher Stoufflet 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, 8 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Stoufflet has filed a pro se motion for the

appointment of new counsel. 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, Stoufflet’s motion for the

appointment of new counsel is DENIED, and Stoufflet’s conviction and sentence

are AFFIRMED.
