Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida

(September 1, 2011)
Before EDMONDSON, CARNES and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Howard C. Anderson, appointed counsel for Bernardo Buendia-Capella in

-- 1 of 2 --

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 Buendia-Capella’s
convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED. Buendia-Capella’s motion for
appointment of substitute counsel on appeal, as construed from his responsive
filing, is DENIED AS MOOT.
