2 Opinion of the Court 22-12859

Before JORDAN, BRANCH, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Jose Rafael Rodriguez, appointed counsel for Pablo Qui- nones Velazquez in this direct criminal appeal from his convictions and total sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distrib- ute five kilograms or more of cocaine while onboard a vessel, has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief pre- pared pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s as- sessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because in- dependent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable is- sue of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Quinones Velazquez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
