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

                                           (February 1, 2013)

Before HULL, JORDAN and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 11-16013    Date Filed: 02/01/2013   Page: 2 of 2

      Tom Dale, appointed counsel for Shawntrece Sims 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 Sims’s convictions and

sentences are AFFIRMED.
