TIEKERON MARTIN, Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama _________________________

(March 21, 2013)

Before HULL, WILSON and JORDAN, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

William Gregory Hughes, appointed counsel for Tiekeron Martin 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. Case: 12-11634 Date Filed: 03/21/2013 Page: 2 of 2

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 Martin’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.

We REMAND for the sole purpose of correcting the judgment to reflect

Martin’s conviction for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine, in

violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846. See United States v. Wimbush, 103

F.3d 968, 970 (11th Cir. 1997) (affirming a defendant’s sentence while remanding

for the sole purpose of correcting a typographical error in the judgment).
