2 Opinion of the Court 24-10508

Before ROSENBAUM, BRANCH, and GRANT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Robert Mock, Jr., appointed counsel for Edwin Montilla- Gonzalez in this direct criminal appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief prepared 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 Montilla-Gonzalez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
