Case: 16-10592 Date Filed: 12/28/2016 Page: 2 of 2 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, and Elkins’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
