PER CURIAM: Michelle Yard, appointed counsel for Kurt Gell in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of Gell and filed a brief Case: 18-14186 Date Filed: 08/05/2019 Page: 2 of 2

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 an independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Gell’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
