2 Opinion of the Court 22-11169
Before L UCK , BRASHER, and ABUDU, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Christopher Eric Roper, appointed counsel for Samuel Mal-
donado 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 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 Maldonado’s conviction
and sentence are AFFIRMED.
