(August 14, 2018) Before ED CARNES, Chief Judge, WILSON and JORDAN, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Alvin Entin, appointed counsel for Dequentin Thomas in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and

Case: 18-10006 Date Filed: 08/14/2018 Page: 2 of 2 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, counsel’s request to appoint alternate counsel is DENIED as moot, and Thomas’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
