Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
_________________________
(May 1, 2007)
Before ANDERSON, BIRCH and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Neal Gary Rosensweig, appointed counsel for Ricky Eugene Patterson, has
filed a motion to withdraw on appeal supported by a brief prepared 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 regarding the district court’s denial of Patterson’s
“Petition for Sentence Reduction Pursuant to [28] U.S.C. [§] 3582(c)(2) in Light of
Amendment 591 of the U.S.S.G. Made Retroactive per [§] 1B1.10” dated July 12,
2005 (“§ 3582 petition”) is correct. Because independent examination of the entire
record reveals no issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw with
regard to the appeal of the § 3582 petition is GRANTED and the district court’s
denial of the § 3582 petition is AFFIRMED. Rosensweig’s motion to withdraw is
granted only with regard to appeal of the § 3582 petition.
