PER CURIAM:
Leonard E. Clark, appointed counsel for Azell James Macon, in this appeal from the denial of relief 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). In a pro se response to counsel’s motion, Macon has moved for appointment of counsel. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, the denial of Macon’s § 3582(c)(2) motion is AFFIRMED, and Macon’s motion for appointment of new counsel is DENIED as moot.
