Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Florida

_________________________

(April 5, 2011) Before EDMONDSON, WILSON and BLACK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Hector Flores, appointed counsel for Jose Carreno in this direct criminal appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw from further representation of the appellant, because counsel believes that 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).

Our independent review of the record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguably meritorious issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Carreno’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
