Case: 17-14589 Date Filed: 05/25/2018 Page: 1 of 3 [DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 17-14589 Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ D.C. Docket No. 3:16-cr-00100-MCR-1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus REUBIN W. COCHRAN, JR., Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida ________________________ (May 25, 2018) Case: 17-14589 Date Filed: 05/25/2018 Page: 2 of 3 Before TJOFLAT, WILSON, and JORDAN, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Richard M. Summa, appointed counsel for Reubin W. Cochran 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 (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 Cochran’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. 2 Case: 17-14589 Date Filed: 05/25/2018 Page: 3 of 3 JORDAN, Circuit Judge, dissenting: With respect, I dissent. I do not think that an appeal here “lacks any basis in fact or law,” McCoy v. Court of Appeals of Wisconsin, Dist. 1, 486 U.S. 429, 438 n.10 (1998), and would require counsel to file a merits brief addressing the district court’s denial of Mr. Cohen’s motion to withdraw the guilty plea. 3
