United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Kenneth James HILL, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 17-14019

Decided: May 21, 2018

Before TJOFLAT, MARCUS and ROSENBAUM, Circuit Judges. Chris John Thielemann, U.S. Attorney's Office, Tallahassee, FL, Robert G. Davies, U.S. Attorney Service—Northern District of Florida, U.S. Attorney's Office, Pensacola, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee Kenneth James Hill, Pro Se

Tanya Higgins, appointed counsel for Kenneth Hill 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, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (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 Hill’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
