                       ________________________

                             (February 27, 2018)

Before WILSON, MARTIN and JORDAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 16-11665     Date Filed: 02/27/2018   Page: 2 of 2


      Kristen Gartman Rogers, appointed counsel for Michael Erskine in this

direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of

Erskine and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct.

1396 (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 Erskine’s convictions and sentences are

AFFIRMED.
