       2                          Opinion of the Court                        22-11857

       Before ROSENBAUM, JILL PRYOR, and GRANT, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
               Thomas A. Burns, appointed counsel for Christopher John
       Streeter in this appeal following Streeter’s conviction on one count
       of sex trafficking of a minor and his resultant life sentence, has filed
       a motion to withdraw on appeal. The motion is supported by a
       brief prepared 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
       issue of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and
       Streeter’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. 1

       1 After Burns filed the Anders brief, Streeter filed, pro se, motions both to dis-

       charge Burns as counsel and to be appointed new appellate counsel. We con-
       clude that both motions are meritless and warrant no further discussion, par-
       ticularly given our decision to grant counsel’s motion under Anders and affirm
       the district court.
