(September 22, 2017) Before MARCUS, ROSENBAUM and FAY, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Grady Irvin, appointed counsel for Ruben Alberto Montano Castro in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

Case: 16-17555 Date Filed: 09/22/2017 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, and Castro’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
