(December 18, 2012)
Before TJOFLAT, WILSON and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Christine O’Connor, appointed counsel for Abel Diaz in this appeal from a
Case: 12-12685 Date Filed: 12/18/2012 Page: 2 of 2
denial of a motion to reduce a sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582, 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). Our
independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the
relative merits 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 the denial of Diaz’s motion to reduce sentence is AFFIRMED.
