    This document summarizes a court case from the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Dennis Burton was convicted of a criminal offense in district court. His appointed counsel, Valarie Linnen, filed a brief to withdraw from further representation, stating there were no meritorious issues for appeal. Burton then filed a motion arguing there were issues worth raising and requesting new counsel. Upon independent review, the appeals court agreed with the initial counsel's assessment and found no arguable issues of merit. It therefore granted the motion to withdraw, denied Burton's requests, and affirmed his conviction and sentence.

    D.C. Docket No. 3:13-cr-00050-MMH-JBT-1

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff-Appellee,
    versus
    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 counsels assessment of the relative
    merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire
    record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsels motion to withdraw is
    GRANTED, Burtons motions for appointment of counsel and an extension of
    time are DENIED, and Burtons conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
