(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

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.
