       2                      Opinion of the Court               22-12859

       Before JORDAN, BRANCH, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              Jose Rafael Rodriguez, appointed counsel for Pablo Qui-
       nones Velazquez in this direct criminal appeal from his convictions
       and total sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distrib-
       ute five kilograms or more of cocaine while onboard a vessel, has
       filed a motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief pre-
       pared pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our
       independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s as-
       sessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because in-
       dependent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable is-
       sue of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and
       Quinones Velazquez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
