                        _________________________

                               (December 16, 2015)

Before WILSON, ROSENBAUM, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Thomas C. Rawlings, appointed counsel for Detron Rushing 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
              Case: 14-13536    Date Filed: 12/16/2015   Page: 2 of 2


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 Rushing’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
