Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia D.C. Docket No. 7:22-cr-00055-WLS-ALS-1 ____________________

Before NEWSOM, BRANCH, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Jonathan R. Dodson, appointed counsel for LaRonce Howell in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of Howell and filed a brief pursuant to USCA11 Case: 25-11479 Document: 22-1 Date Filed: 03/09/2026 Page: 2 of 2

2 Opinion of the Court 25-11479 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 an independent examination of the record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Howell’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
