       2                      Opinion of the Court                  23-10482

       Before JORDAN, NEWSOM, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
               Valerie Linnen, appointed counsel for Neal Walker in this
       direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further repre-
       sentation of the appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. Cal-
       ifornia, 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 issues of merit, counsel’s motion to
       withdraw is GRANTED, and Walker’s convictions and sentences
       are AFFIRMED. In addition, because his pending motion ad-
       dresses the same issues raised on appeal, it is DENIED as moot.
