Appeal from the United States District Court

(September 25, 2013)
Before DUBINA, WILSON and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Case: 12-15584 Date Filed: 09/25/2013 Page: 2 of 2
Philip R. Horowitz, counsel for Arthur Smith 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). Our independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s
assessment of the relative merit 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 Smith’s conviction and sentence are
AFFIRMED.
