Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
________________________
(June 8, 2012)
Before MARCUS, WILSON and BLACK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Neal Gary Rosensweig, appointed counsel for Laurence Houghton in this

-- 1 of 2 --

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 Houghton’s convictions and
sentences are AFFIRMED.
