2 Opinion of the Court 22-12859
Before J ORDAN, B RANCH, and B RASHER , Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Jose Rafael Rodriguez, appointed counsel for Pablo Qui-
nones Velazquez in this direct criminal appeal from his convictions
and total sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distrib-
ute five kilograms or more of cocaine while onboard a vessel, has
filed a motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief pre-
pared pursuant to
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our
independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s as-
sessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because in-
dependent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable is-
sue of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and
Quinones Velazquez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
