(November 10, 2020) Before MARTIN, NEWSOM and BRANCH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Roger L. Weeden, appointed counsel for Anthony Nicholas, Jr., in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the

USCA11 Case: 20-10649 Date Filed: 11/10/2020 Page: 2 of 2 appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (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 Nicholas’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
