United States v. Galal Ramadan

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
United States v. Galal Ramadan, 547 F. App'x 964 (11th Cir. 2013)

United States v. Galal Ramadan

Opinion

*965 PER CURIAM:

Ron Smith, appointed counsel for Galal Ramadan, 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 Ramadan’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED. Ramadan’s request for a 60-day extension to file an initial appellate brief is DENIED AS MOOT.

Additionally, there is a clerical error in the judgment — Count 1 of the judgment incorrectly notes that Ramadan was convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and conversion of public property, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371. However, Ramadan was indicted and convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349. Accordingly, the case is REMANDED to the district court with instructions to correct the clerical error in Count 1 of the judgment.
