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

(July 5, 2012)
Before CARNES, WILSON and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Gail M. Stage, on behalf of Michael Caruso, interim Federal Public
Defender and appointed counsel for Bernard Shaw in this appeal from the denial
of an 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) sentence reduction motion, has moved to withdraw
from further representation of the appellant and has filed a brief pursuant to
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (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 issues of
arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the denial of
Shaw’s § 3582(c)(2) motion to reduce his sentence is AFFIRMED.
