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

                                (March 20, 2012)

Before CARNES, BARKETT and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Thomas John Butler, appointed counsel for Miriam Pedro 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 Pedro’s conviction and sentence

are AFFIRMED.
