                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Middle District of Georgia
                         ________________________

                                (March 22, 2019)

Before MARTIN, JILL PRYOR and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Alfreda L. Sheppard, appointed counsel for Scott Gwaltney in this direct

criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the
              Case: 17-14742    Date Filed: 03/22/2019   Page: 2 of 2

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 Gwaltney’s conviction and sentence is AFFIRMED.
