(December 17, 2019) Before MARTIN, ROSENBAUM and BRANCH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Amit M. Navare, appointed counsel for Frenchy Hilliard in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

Case: 19-11850 Date Filed: 12/17/2019 Page: 2 of 2 appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent review of the record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Hilliard’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
