(November 3, 2017) Before MARCUS, WILSON and JORDAN, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Brendan Fleming, appointed counsel for Michael Sassnett in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

Case: 16-12356 Date Filed: 11/03/2017 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 Sassnett’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
