This document is a court filing from the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit regarding defendant Arne Soreide's appeal of his criminal sentence. Soreide's appointed counsel, Faith Mesnekoff, filed a motion to withdraw from further representation and an Anders brief asserting there are no arguable issues of merit to raise on appeal. The per curiam opinion of the three-judge panel states that after independently reviewing the entire record, they agree with counsel's assessment that there are no meritorious issues for appeal, so they grant the motion to withdraw and affirm Soreide's sentence.
