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

                                (October 23, 2012)

Before BARKETT, PRYOR and BLACK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Panayotta Augustin-Birch, appointed counsel for Michael Jon Price 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.
              Case: 12-11383    Date Filed: 10/23/2012   Page: 2 of 2

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 Price’s conviction and sentence

are AFFIRMED.
