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

                               (February 14, 2014)

Before TJOFLAT, HULL and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Ronald W. Maxwell, appointed counsel for Phillip Lenard Neal in this

direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the
              Case: 13-13205     Date Filed: 02/14/2014   Page: 2 of 2


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 Neal=s conviction and sentence

are AFFIRMED.
