[DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ FILED U.S. COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-14942 ELEVENTH CIRCUIT OCTOBER 28, 2011 Non-Argument Calendar JOHN LEY ________________________ CLERK D.C. Docket No. 8:09-cr-00119-EAK-TGW-1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus JEFFREY FRIEDLANDER, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida ________________________ (October 28, 2011) Before EDMONDSON, MARTIN and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Benjamin Singerman, appointed counsel for Jeffrey Friedlander, 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 Friedlander’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED. 2
