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

                              (May 10, 2012)

Before TJOFLAT, JORDAN and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Mary A. Mills, appointed counsel for Denis Arnulfo Sorto-Ortiz 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 Sorto-Ortiz’s convictions and

sentences are AFFIRMED.
