    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Darius BRIGHTWELL, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 16-13045 Non-Argument Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    (February 27, 2017)
    Lindsay Feinberg, Michelle Lee Schie-ber, Danial Edward Bennett, Tamara A. Jarrett, Michael J. Moore, U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Macon, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Darius Santas Brightwell, Marianna, FL, for Defendant-Appellant
    Before MARTIN, ANDERSON and BLACK, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Daniel S. Woodrum, appointed counsel for Darius Brightwell, in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant, because, in his opinion, the appeal is without merit. Counsel has 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 Brightwell’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
