Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Florida

(February 13, 2017) Before TJOFLAT, WILLIAM PRYOR and MARTIN, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Case: 16-12342 Date Filed: 02/13/2017 Page: 2 of 2

Robert E. Adler, appointed counsel for Lavance Palmer in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the 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, and Palmer’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
