2 Opinion of the Court 23-10270

Before JORDAN, NEWSOM, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Thomas A. Burns, appointed counsel for Akohomen Ighedoise 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 Ighedoise’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. 1

1 Ighedoise’s motions for appointment of counsel and to proceed in forma

pauperis are DENIED.
