(October 12, 2016) Before MARTIN, JORDAN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

John Lovell, appointed counsel for Daphne Patterson in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and

Case: 15-15778 Date Filed: 10/12/2016 Page: 2 of 2 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 Patterson’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
