                     _________________________

                              (July 24, 2013)

Before HULL, JORDAN and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 12-16591     Date Filed: 07/24/2013   Page: 2 of 2


      Craig L. Crawford, counsel for Ramon Lopez-Alvarado 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 Lopez-Alvarado’s conviction

and sentence are AFFIRMED.
