2                         Opinion of the Court                      22-10282

Before JILL PRYOR, LUCK, and LAGOA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
       Adam Labonte, appointed counsel for Clarence Robinson in
this appeal from the denial of his motion for compassionate release
under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as modified by § 603(b) of the First
Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194 (“First Step Act”),
has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appel-
lant 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. 1
Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no
arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is
GRANTED, and the denial of Robinson’s motion is AFFIRMED.

1We 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.
