                              Appeal from the United States District Court
                                  for the Northern District of Florida

                                           (September 30, 2011)

Before BARKETT, HULL and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

         Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Joshua M. Bryant 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 Bryant’s

convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
