UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

JOSE CARRENO,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Florida

(April 5, 2011)
Before EDMONDSON, WILSON and BLACK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Hector Flores, appointed counsel for Jose Carreno in this direct criminal
appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw from further representation of the appellant,
because counsel believes that the appeal is without merit. Counsel 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 record reveals that counsel’s assessment of
the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the
entire record reveals no arguably meritorious issues of merit, counsel’s motion to
withdraw is GRANTED, and Carreno’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
