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

                                   (July 9, 2012)

Before MARCUS, WILSON and BLACK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      J. Rafael Rodriguez, appointed counsel for Jose Aviles-Torres 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 Aviles-Torres’s convictions and

sentences are AFFIRMED.
