*1 Before MARTIN, ANDERSON and BLACK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Daniel S. Woodrum, appointed counsel for Darius Brightwell, in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant, because, in his opinion, the appeal is without merit. Counsel has filed a
Case: 16-13045 Date Filed: 02/27/2017 Page: 2 of 2
brief pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (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 Brightwell’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
