(November 17, 2017) Before WILSON, JORDAN and JULIE CARNES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Victor Kelley, appointed counsel for Royce Johnson in this appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and has filed a

Case: 16-16300 Date Filed: 11/17/2017 Page: 2 of 2 brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent review of the 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 Johnson’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
