Gwendolyn Spivey, appointed counsel for Larry Copeland in this appeal of the denial of a motion for a reduced sentence, 18 U.S.C. § 3282(c)(2), has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant, because, in her opinion, the appeal is without merit. Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s denial of Copeland’s 18 U.S.C. § 3582 motion is AFFIRMED.
