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

                                           (April 2, 2012)

Before MARCUS, MARTIN and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Joseph Louis Williams in this direct

criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

appellant and has 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 issues of

arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Williams’s

convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
