2                      Opinion of the Court                21-14039

Before LUCK, LAGOA, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
       Erik Cruz, appointed counsel for Branden Washington 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 (1967). 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 Washington’s convictions and sen-
tences are AFFIRMED.
