                Appeal from the United States District Court
                    for the Middle District of Florida
                      ________________________

                             (March 20, 2019)

Before WILSON, MARTIN and BLACK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 18-12815    Date Filed: 03/20/2019   Page: 2 of 2


      Thomas Butler, appointed counsel for Jhon Harrys Lozada-Pua 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 (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 Lozada-Pua’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
