    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Juan Rafael CHAVEZ, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 17-10949 Non-Argument Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    (November 8, 2017)
    Corey J. Smith, Christopher P. Canova, Robert D. Stinson, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Tallahassee, FL, Robert G. Davies, John Ryan Love, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Pensacola, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Before HULL, ROSENBAUM, and JULIE CARNES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Sheryl Lowenthal, appointed counsel for Juan Rafael Chavez 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 Chavez’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
