                   Appeal from the United States District Court

                                (January 13, 2012)

Before HULL, PRYOR and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      J. Tim Coyle, appointed counsel for Tracy Shawn Guthrie 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 Guthrie’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
