Appeal from the United States District Court

________________________

(March 28, 2018) Before ED CARNES, Chief Judge, MARTIN and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Jeffrey L. Arnold, appointed counsel for Vincent Green in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

Case: 17-10786 Date Filed: 03/28/2018 Page: 2 of 2 appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). In addition, Green has moved for appointment of new counsel and for an order requiring counsel to provide certain case files and transcripts needed to prepare a response to counsel’s Anders motion. Counsel responded to Green’s motions, stating that he had sent the requested case files and transcripts to Green. Green has since filed a response to counsel’s Anders motion.

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 Green’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. Green’s motions are DENIED as moot.
