               Appeal from the United States District Court
                   for the Middle District of Florida
                     ________________________

                           (October 28, 2011)

Before EDMONDSON, MARTIN and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Benjamin Singerman, appointed counsel for Jeffrey Friedlander, in this

direct criminal appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw from further representation

of the appellant, because counsel believes that the appeal is without merit.

Counsel 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 record reveals that counsel’s assessment of

the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the

entire record reveals no arguably meritorious issues of merit, counsel’s motion to

withdraw is GRANTED, and Friedlander’s convictions and sentences are

AFFIRMED.
