                Appeal from the United States District Court
                   for the Northern District of Georgia
                      ________________________

                             (August 21, 2013)

Before TJOFLAT, PRYOR and BLACK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 13-10649     Date Filed: 08/21/2013    Page: 2 of 2

      Thomas Wooldridge, appointed appellate counsel for Norman Simmonds in

this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of

the defendant, 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 our independent review of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of

merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Simmonds’s convictions

and sentences are AFFIRMED.
