Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Georgia

_________________________

(March 27, 2014) Before PRYOR, MARTIN, and FAY, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Robert Nye, appointed counsel for Tishard Brown in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of Brown, arguing that there are no non-frivolous grounds on which Brown could appeal either his conviction or his sentence. Nye filed a brief identifying arguable issues for appeal

Case: 13-13220 Date Filed: 03/27/2014 Page: 2 of 2 pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967). Brown did not respond to Nye’s motion to withdraw or the Anders brief.

After a careful, independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no non-frivolous grounds on which Brown could base an appeal. For this reason, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Brown=s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
