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

                                           (November 15, 2012)

Before CARNES, HULL and JORDAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 12-12449    Date Filed: 11/15/2012   Page: 2 of 2

      W. Drew Sorrell, appointed counsel for Edmon Jerome Burton in this

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 arguable issues of merit,

counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s order

denying a sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) is AFFIRMED.

                                         2
