Appeal from the United States District Court

(January 4, 2018)
Before WILSON, MARTIN and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Case: 17-12026 Date Filed: 01/04/2018 Page: 2 of 2
Richard Shields, appointed counsel for Torrance Joiner 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 Joiner’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
