PER CURIAM: 

USCA11 Case: 14-12167 Date Filed: 02/12/2015 Page: 1 of 2

Valarie Linnen, appointed counsel for Dennis Burton in this 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). In response, Burton 

has raised several issues he contends are meritorious and moved for appointment 

of new counsel and an extension of time in which to file his appellate brief. Our 

independent review of the entire record reveals 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, Burton’s motions for appointment of counsel and an extension of 

time are DENIED, and Burton’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
