2                     Opinion of the Court                21-10823

Before WILSON, BRANCH, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
       Larry Dale Jones, Jr., appointed counsel for Benjamin
Howlet, Jr., 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 record reveals that counsel’s assessment
of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent
examination of the record reveals no arguable issues of merit,
counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Howlet’s
conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
