UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus

RICARDO ROMERO-MESA, Defendant-Appellant.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida ________________________ (July 10, 2017) Before TJOFLAT, WILLIAM PRYOR and ROSENBAUM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Case: 17-10474 Date Filed: 07/10/2017 Page: 2 of 2

Victor D. Martinez, appointed counsel for Ricardo Romero-Mesa 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 Romero-Mesa’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
