Patricia D. Barksdale, Dineen A. Baker, Jacksonville, FL, David Paul Rhodes, A. Brian Albritton, Tampa, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Herlitz M. Vanzie, Atlanta, GA, pro se.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. D.C. Docket No. 92-00236-CR-J-25-JRK.
Before BLACK, MARCUS and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
W. Charles Fletcher, appointed counsel for Herlitz M. Vanzie in this 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw from further representation, supported by a brief prepared 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 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 denial of § 3582(c)(2) relief is AFFIRMED.
Vanzie's pro se Motion to Deny Ander's Brief Filed by Court-appointed Counsel and Motion to Substitute Counsel is denied.
