Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Middle District of Georgia

(December 15, 2016) Before ROSENBAUM, JULIE CARNES and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Case: 15-15683 Date Filed: 12/15/2016 Page: 2 of 2

Jonathan Dodson, appointed counsel for Stacie E. Leipold in this direct criminal appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief prepared 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 Leipold’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
