PER CURIAM:
              Case: 12-15870    Date Filed: 01/02/2014   Page: 2 of 2


      Cynthia Hernandez, appointed counsel for Emmanuel Arias-Chavarin in this

direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

appellant pursuant to Anders v. California, 

, 

(1967).

Because our independent examination of the entire record confirms Hernandez’s

assessment that there are no arguable issues of merit on appeal, her motion to

withdraw is GRANTED, and Arias-Chavarin’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
