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

                                (September 21, 2011)

Before CARNES, WILSON and BLACK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Kristen Gartman Rogers, appointed counsel for Alfredo Rodriguez 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 Rodriguez’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
