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

                            (November 8, 2017)

Before HULL, ROSENBAUM, and JULIE CARNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 17-10949    Date Filed: 11/08/2017   Page: 2 of 2


      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 (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.
