Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Florida

(September 1, 2017) Before JORDAN, ROSENBAUM and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Case: 16-16813 Date Filed: 09/01/2017 Page: 2 of 2

Jose Rafael Rodriguez, appointed counsel for Ruben Santana Pimenta 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 Santana Pimenta’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
