(August 2, 2018) Before MARCUS, WILSON and ROSENBAUM, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Mark W. Ciaravella, appointed counsel for Quentin Cephus in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

Case: 17-11416 Date Filed: 08/02/2018 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 Cephus’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
