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

                                     (February 15, 2011)
Before TJOFLAT, MARTIN and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Mary Erickson, appointed counsel for Mario Escutia-Vasquez 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 Escutia-

Vasquez’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
