(August 8, 2018) Before WILSON, MARTIN and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Kristen Gartman Rogers, appointed counsel for Brad Jason Long in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

Case: 17-15147 Date Filed: 08/08/2018 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 Long’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
