2                          Opinion of the Court                     20-13758

Before WILLIAM PRYOR, Chief Judge, JORDAN and NEWSOM,
Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
        Adam Labonte, appointed counsel for Tony Henry in this
appeal from the partial denial of his motion for a reduced sentence
under the First Step Act, 1 has moved to withdraw from further rep-
resentation of the appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent review of the en-
tire record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of
the appeal is correct. 2 Because independent examination of the en-
tire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to
withdraw is GRANTED, and the partial denial of Henry’s motion
is AFFIRMED.

1 Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222.
2 We decline counsel’s invitation to adopt the position of other Circuit Courts
of Appeals regarding the applicability of Anders to the denial of motions under
the First Step Act.
