                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Southern District of Georgia
                        ________________________
                             (December 2, 2013)

Before WILSON, HILL and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      David M. Burns, Jr., appointed counsel for Cecil Dewitt Nelson, has filed a

motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief prepared pursuant to Anders v.
              Case: 13-11316     Date Filed: 12/02/2013   Page: 2 of 2


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 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 the

conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
