PER CURIAM:

Case: 16-11940

Date Filed: 08/29/2017

Page: 2 of 2

Thomas M. Goggans, retained counsel for Christopher Antonio Lewis in this
appeal from the denial of Lewis’s 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a reduction in
sentence, 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 the record reveals no arguable
issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED and the order denying
Lewis’s motion is AFFIRMED.
