James W. Smith, III, appointed counsel for Phillip Wainwright in this appeal from the district court’s denial of a motion to reduce Wainwright’s sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 *897 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s denial of relief under § 3582(c)(2) is AFFIRMED.
