Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Georgia
_________________________
(August 23, 2012)
Before BARKETT, JORDAN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Mary Erickson, appointed counsel for Kenneth Patterson in this direct
criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the
Case: 11-15089 Date Filed: 08/23/2012 Page: 2 of 2
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 Patterson’s conviction and
sentence are AFFIRMED.
