Before BLACK, BARKETT and HULL, Circuit Judges
PER CURIAM:
Leonard E. Clark, appointed counsel for Ronald Mathis in this appeal of the

-- 1 of 2 --

denial of a motion for a reduced sentence, 18 U.S.C. § 3282(c)(2), has moved to
withdraw from further representation of the appellant, because, in his opinion, 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 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 the
district court’s denial of Mathis’s 18 U.S.C. § 3582 motion is AFFIRMED.
