    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Roderick PATTERSON, a.k.a. Bear, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 11-15398
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    July 10, 2012.
    R. Brian Tanner, James D. Durham, Brian T. Rafferty, Edward J. Tarver, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Savannah, GA, Nancy Greenwood, Patricia Green Rhodes, David M. Stewart, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Augusta, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Daniel M. King, Jr., Dublin, GA, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before TJOFLAT, JORDAN and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Daniel King, appointed counsel for Roderick Patterson in 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 Patterson’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
