Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Florida
_________________________
(June 8, 2012)
Before CARNES, WILSON and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges
PER CURIAM:
Clyde M. Taylor, Jr., appointed counsel for James Santos in this direct
criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the
appellant 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 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 arguable issues of merit,
counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Santos’s conviction and
sentence are AFFIRMED.
