Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Middle District of Florida

(May 5, 2021) Before WILSON, ROSENBAUM, and BLACK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

USCA11 Case: 20-14224 Date Filed: 05/05/2021 Page: 2 of 2

Darlene Geiger, appointed counsel for Lonnie Mercer, Jr., 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). 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 Mercer’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
