       2                      Opinion of the Court                22-12678

       Before LAGOA, BRASHER, and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              D. Nicole Williams, appointed counsel for Robert Lee
       Smith, III, 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 entire record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the
       relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent exam-
       ination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit,
       counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Smith’s convic-
       tion and sentence are AFFIRMED.
