                     ________________________

                             (July 11, 2013)

Before HULL, JORDAN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 12-15875     Date Filed: 07/11/2013   Page: 2 of 2


      Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Phillip William Winters, 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 Winters=s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
