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

                            (November 12, 2014)

Before WILLIAM PRYOR, MARTIN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 13-14527     Date Filed: 11/12/2014    Page: 2 of 2

      David H. Jones, appointed counsel for Ruffino Torres-Pineda in this direct

criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of

Torres-Pineda 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 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 Torres-Pineda’s

convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.

                                           2
