IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 19-13729 Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ D.C. Docket No. 4:18-cr-00262-RSB-CLR-1

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus HOSEA SCOTT, Defendant-Appellant.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia ________________________ (September 2, 2020) Before JORDAN, GRANT, and LAGOA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Case: 19-13729 Date Filed: 09/02/2020 Page: 2 of 2

Paul Calhoun, appointed counsel for Hosea Scott 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 (1967). Scott, in turn, has filed a motion to discharge Calhoun as counsel. 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, Scott’s motion to discharge counsel is DENIED AS MOOT, and Scott’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
