Chet Kaufman, Federal Public Defender, Tallahassee, FL, Randall Lockhart, Pensacola, FL, for Defendant-Appellant.
Karen Rhew-Miller, Tallahassee, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida. D.C. Docket No. 03-00054-CR-5-MCR.
Before BIRCH, CARNES and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
Randolph P. Murrell and Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Tyronie Patterson in this appeal of the district court's order granting a sentence reduction, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582, have moved to withdraw from further representation of 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 the district court's order granting Patterson a sentence reduction under § 3582(c)(2) is AFFIRMED.
