2 Opinion of the Court 21-11704

Before WILSON, BRASHER, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Michelle Hendrix, appointed counsel for Steven McLendon 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 McLendon’s conviction and sen- tence are AFFIRMED.
