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

                                (August 29, 2013)

Before TJOFLAT, HULL and JORDAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


      Charles E. Taylor, appointed counsel for Eric Sledge in this direct criminal

appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and
              Case: 13-10572     Date Filed: 08/29/2013   Page: 2 of 2


filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 

, 

, 

 (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 Sledge’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
