JUAN RAFAEL CHAVEZ,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court

(November 8, 2017)
Before HULL, ROSENBAUM, and JULIE CARNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

Case: 17-10949

Date Filed: 11/08/2017

Page: 2 of 2

Sheryl Lowenthal, appointed counsel for Juan Rafael Chavez in this direct
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).
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 Chavez’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
