               Appeal from the United States District Court for the
                          Southern District of Alabama
                         _________________________

                                  (June 12, 2012)

Before MARTIN, JORDAN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Richard E. Shields, appointed counsel for Jacob Allen Brooks in this direct

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

appellant. To that end, Shields filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967). Our independent review of the entire record

confirms that this appeal lacks any issue that is arguable on the merits. Counsel’s

motion to withdraw is therefore GRANTED, and Brooks’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
