Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Leonard E. Clark, appointed counsel for George Pearson, Jr. in this appeal of the denial of a motion to reduce sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c), has filed a motion to withdraw, 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 arguable issue of merit, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the denial of the motion to reduce sentence is AFFIRMED.
