ARNOLD CLAYTON,

Defendant-Appellant. ____________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida D.C. Docket No. 3:13-cr-00002-MMH-MCR-1 ____________________

Before JORDAN, LUCK, and BLACK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Matthew Cavender, appointed counsel for Arnold Clayton in this appeal has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 USCA11 Case: 25-10759 Document: 16-1 Date Filed: 09/24/2025 Page: 2 of 2

2 Opinion of the Court 25-10759 U.S. 738 (1967). Cavender asserts that upon a review of the record, he has been unable to find any non-frivolous argument he can pre- sent in good faith from the district court’s order (1) terminating Clayton’s motions for a sentence reduction to the extent he sought a reduction in his imprisonment term after President Biden com- muted his imprisonment term, and (2) declining to consider Clay- ton’s request for a reduction in his supervised release term. 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 the district court’s order is AFFIRMED.
