    No. 15-13182 Non-Argument Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    (May 5, 2017)
    Olivia Choe, Wifredo A. Ferrer, Seth Michael Schlessinger, Emily M. Smachetti, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Miami, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Roy Jeffrey Kahn, Roy J. Kahn, PA, Miami, FL, for Defendant-Appellant Willis Maxi
    David Scott Markus, Law Offices of David Marcus, Miami, FL, for Defendant-Appellant Markentz Blanc
    Before HULL, WILSON, and MARTIN, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

James Gailey, appointed counsel for Es-pere Pierre, 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 Pierre’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
