UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
EUGENE PONCE DE LEON,
Defendant-Appellant.
__________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
_________________________
(October 29, 2012)
Before BARKETT, MARCUS and PRYOR, Circuit Judges
PER CURIAM:
Stephen Langs, appointed counsel for Eugene Ponce de Leon 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
Case: 11-13881 Date Filed: 10/29/2012 Page: 1 of 2

-- 1 of 2 --

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 Ponce de Leon’s conviction and
sentence, in the present case, imposed by the district court on August 12, 2012, are
AFFIRMED.1
Although Ponce de Leon was also sentenced by the district court in a separate supervised 1
release revocation proceeding the same day, he did not appeal that ruling.
