Susan Hollis Rothstein-Youakim, U.S. Attorney's Office, Tampa, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Phillip Wainwright, Jesup, GA, pro se.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. D.C. Docket No. 02-00449-CR-T-17MSS.
Before BIRCH, HULL and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
James W. Smith, III, appointed counsel for Phillip Wainwright in this appeal from the district court's denial of a motion to reduce Wainwright's sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), 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). Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no issues of arguable merit, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court's denial of relief under § 3582(c)(2) is AFFIRMED.
