Before MARTIN, JORDAN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Adeel Bashir, appointed counsel for Frederick Ward 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
              Case: 14-14540     Date Filed: 06/04/2015   Page: 2 of 2


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 Ward’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED.
