2 Opinion of the Court 21-11645

Before ROSENBAUM, JILL PRYOR, and BRANCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Grant K. Usry, appointed counsel for Walker Washington 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). Washington, in turn, has person- ally requested that we either appoint substitute counsel or compel Usry to continue representing him. 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 that could be raised either by counsel or substitute counsel, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, Washington’s motion for substitute counsel is DENIED, and Washington’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
