       2                      Opinion of the Court                22-12407

       Before BRANCH, LAGOA, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              Meghan Ann Collins, appointed counsel for Michael
       Belmares in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw
       from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief pursu-
       ant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent
       review of the record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the rela-
       tive merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examina-
       tion of the record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s mo-
       tion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Belmares’s convictions and
       sentences are AFFIRMED.
