PER CURIAM:

Mary Anderson, appointed counsel for Christopher Powell in this appeal from
the partial grant of a request for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2),
has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief
pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Powell has submitted a
response to Anderson’s motion to withdraw. 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 the district court’s partial
grant of Powell’s sentence-reduction request is AFFIRMED.
