                       for the Northern District of Florida
                        _________________________

                                  (June 27, 2013)

Before MARCUS, JORDAN and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Eric Paul Sandberg 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
              Case: 12-15272    Date Filed: 06/27/2013   Page: 2 of 2


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 Sandberg=s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
