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

                                           (November 8, 2011)

Before HULL, PRYOR and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Ray C. Lopez, appointed counsel for Billy Jack Courtright, 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 issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED,

and Courtright’s conviction and sentence is AFFIRMED.
