                           Appeal from the United States District Court
                              for the Northern District of Alabama

                                           (May 23, 2012)

Before CARNES, WILSON and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

         Jason Tompkins, appointed counsel for Robert Louis King, has filed a

motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief prepared 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 King’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
