UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,

CHRISTOPHER BERNARD THOMPSON,
Defendant-Appellant.

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

(September 1, 2017)
Before HULL, MARCUS and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Case: 16-17472 Date Filed: 09/01/2017 Page: 2 of 2
Stephen N. Bernstein, appointed counsel for Christopher Bernard Thompson
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). 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 Thompson’s conviction and sentence are
AFFIRMED.
