2 Opinion of the Court 21-14039

Before LUCK, LAGOA, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Erik Cruz, appointed counsel for Branden 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). 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 Washington’s convictions and sen- tences are AFFIRMED.
