UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus JIMMY TAYLOR, Defendant-Appellant.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia ________________________ (April 11, 2017) Before TJOFLAT, NEWSOM and HULL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Case: 17-14252 Date Filed: 04/11/2018 Page: 2 of 2

Robert J. Pinnero, appointed counsel for Jimmy Taylor 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 Taylor’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
