Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Georgia

________________________

(December 13, 2018) Before JORDAN, JILL PRYOR, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Robert N. Nye III, appointed counsel for Richard Craig Heinitz 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).

Case: 17-14460 Date Filed: 12/13/2018 Page: 2 of 2 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 Heinitz’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
