2 Opinion of the Court 21-14368

Before ROSENBAUM, BRANCH, and GRANT, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Roger Appell, counsel for Roderick Cole 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 record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Cole’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
