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

                           (February 17, 2012)

Before WILSON, PRYOR and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Robin J. Farnsworth, appointed counsel for Rubiela Vargas Ortiz 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 Ortiz’s conviction and sentence

are AFFIRMED.
