UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,

MATTHEW DAVID AYERS,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Alabama

(September 3, 2015)
Before ED CARNES, Chief Judge, JULIE CARNES and FAY Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Case: 14-15040 Date Filed: 09/03/2015 Page: 2 of 2
W. Scott Brower, appointed counsel for Matthew David Ayers 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, 87 S.Ct.
1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (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 Ayers’s convictions and total
sentence are AFFIRMED.
