                     ________________________

                             (June 21, 2018)


Before TJOFLAT, WILLIAM PRYOR and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
              Case: 17-13426     Date Filed: 06/21/2018   Page: 2 of 2


      Mark Ciaravella, appointed counsel for Flavio Edisberto Quinones Valencia

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 Valencia’s conviction and sentence are

AFFIRMED. Additionally, counsel’s motion to file the Anders brief out of time is

GRANTED.
