    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    May 7, 2014.
    R. Brian Tanner, James D. Durham, Karl I. Knoche, Frederick Kramer, III, James C. Stuchell, Edward J. Tarver, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Savannah, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    E. Vaughn Dunnigan, E. Vaughn Dunni-gan, P.C., Atlanta, GA, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Kevin Lamont Gourdine, Miami, FL, pro se.
    Before PRYOR, MARTIN and JORDAN, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

E. Vaughn Dunnigan, appointed counsel for Kevin Lamont Gourdine 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 Gourdine’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
