PER CURIAM: 

USCA11 Case: 14-12442 Date Filed: 08/29/2016 Page: 1 of 2

Michael Nielsen, appointed counsel for Charles Lester 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). Our independent review of the entire record, including 

Lester’s pro se brief, 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 Lester’s 

conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. Additionally, Lester’s motions for 

reconsideration of our earlier order denying his request to dismiss counsel, to 

dismiss counsel, and to allow him to proceed pro se are DENIED AS MOOT.
