Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
________________________
(August 27, 2012)
Before BARKETT, PRYOR and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Tracy N. DaCruz, appointed counsel for Steven Hardy in this appeal of the
Case: 12-11140 Date Filed: 08/27/2012 Page: 2 of 2
denial of an 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion, 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 is
correct. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable
issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the denial of
Hardy’s § 3582(c)(2) motion is AFFIRMED.
