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

                          (December 19, 2011)

Before MARCUS, PRYOR and MARTIN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      John S. Mills and Gregory Philo, appointed counsel for Loranzo Thomas in

this direct appeal, have 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 Thomas’s convictions

and sentences are AFFIRMED.
