DENNIS BURTON,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida

(February 12, 2015)
Before HULL, ROSENBAUM and BLACK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Case: 14-12167 Date Filed: 02/12/2015 Page: 2 of 2
Valarie Linnen, appointed counsel for Dennis Burton in this 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). In response, Burton
has raised several issues he contends are meritorious and moved for appointment
of new counsel and an extension of time in which to file his appellate brief. Our
independent review of the entire record reveals 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, Burton’s motions for appointment of counsel and an extension of
time are DENIED, and Burton’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
