(December 28, 2016) Before HULL, WILSON and WILLIAM PRYOR, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Adeel Bashir, appointed counsel for Alan Kenneth Thompson, Jr., in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

Case: 16-13605 Date Filed: 12/28/2016 Page: 2 of 2 appellant and filed a 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, Thompson’s pro se motions are DENIED, and Thompson’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
