Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Georgia
_________________________
(February 11, 2015)
Before HULL, MARTIN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Brendan N. Fleming, appointed counsel for James Butler 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
Case: 14-12950 Date Filed: 02/11/2015 Page: 2 of 2
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 Butler’s conviction and sentence
are AFFIRMED.
