                       ________________________

                              (January 2, 2014)

Before HULL, MARCUS, and MARTIN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 12-15870    Date Filed: 01/02/2014   Page: 2 of 2


      Cynthia Hernandez, appointed counsel for Emmanuel Arias-Chavarin in this

direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

appellant pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967).

Because our independent examination of the entire record confirms Hernandez’s

assessment that there are no arguable issues of merit on appeal, her motion to

withdraw is GRANTED, and Arias-Chavarin’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
