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

                          (September 30, 2011)

Before BARKETT, MARCUS and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Robin Cindy Rosen-Evans, appointed counsel for Michael Nicholas Taylor

in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation

of the appellant and filed a brief prepared pursuant to Anders v. California, 386

U.S. 738 (1967). Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no

arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and

Taylor’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
