                     for the Northern District of Alabama
                         ________________________

                              (February 17, 2015)

Before ED CARNES, Chief Judge, JULIE CARNES and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 13-15304     Date Filed: 02/17/2015    Page: 2 of 2

      Richard Aaron Chastain and John Sims Rhyne, appointed counsel for Jaime

Martinez-Ponce in this direct criminal appeal, have 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 counsels’s assessment of the relative merit

of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record

reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsels=s motion to withdraw is GRANTED,

and Martinez-Ponce=s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
