(February 7, 2012) Before CARNES, WILSON and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Miguel Caridad, appointed counsel for Francisco Virgilio Cortez-Acosta in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and 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 Cortez-Acosta’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
