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. 2
