Appeal from the United States District Court

(May 7, 2012)
Before BARKETT, PRYOR and HILL, Circuit Judges
PER CURIAM:
Kristen Gartman Rogers, appointed counsel for Vicente
Maldonado-Ascencio in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from

-- 1 of 2 --

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 Maldonado’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
