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

                                       (January 7, 2011)

Before TJOFLAT, HULL and MARTIN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

         Howard C. Anderson, appointed counsel for Carlos Diaz-Acosta, 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 Diaz-Acosta’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
