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

                                           (August 27, 2012)

Before BARKETT, PRYOR and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

         Tracy N. DaCruz, appointed counsel for Steven Hardy in this appeal of the
              Case: 12-11140     Date Filed: 08/27/2012   Page: 2 of 2

denial of an 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion, has filed a motion to withdraw on

appeal, 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

issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the denial of

Hardy’s § 3582(c)(2) motion is AFFIRMED.
