SAMUEL LEE TURNER,
Defendant-Appellant.
________________________
Appeals from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
_________________________
(February 19, 2014)
Before TJOFLAT, MARTIN and JORDAN, Circuit Judges
PER CURIAM:
Peter T. Patanzo, appointed counsel for Samuel Turner in these direct
criminal appeals, 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 (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 Turner’s convictions and sentences are
AFFIRMED.
