IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 17-13426 Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ D.C. Docket No. 8:16-cr-00019-MSS-TBM-2

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus

FLAVIO EDISBERTO QUINONES VALENCIA, Defendant-Appellant.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida ________________________ (June 21, 2018)

Before TJOFLAT, WILLIAM PRYOR and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Case: 17-13426 Date Filed: 06/21/2018 Page: 2 of 2

Mark Ciaravella, appointed counsel for Flavio Edisberto Quinones Valencia 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 Valencia’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. Additionally, counsel’s motion to file the Anders brief out of time is GRANTED.
