Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
Before TJOFLAT, HULL and MARCUS, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:
Ronald W. Maxwell, appointed counsel for Phillip Lenard Neal 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 Neal's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
