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

(September 20, 2012)
Before HULL, JORDAN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Joseph Torres, appointed counsel for Juan Carlos Torres-Padilla, 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
Case: 11-15700 Date Filed: 09/20/2012 Page: 2 of 2
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 Torres-Padilla’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
