PER CURIAM: 

USCA11 Case: 14-10613 Date Filed: 01/26/2015 Page: 1 of 2

Philip R. Horowitz, appointed counsel for Louis Askew 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, 87 S.Ct. 

1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). In a pro se response to counsel’s motion to 

withdraw, Askew requests the appointment of substitute counsel. 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 

Askew’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED. Askew’s pro se motion for 

substitute counsel is DENIED. See United States v. Young, 482 F.2d 993, 995 (5th 

Cir. 1973).
