Case: 12-15819 Date Filed: 12/13/2013 Page: 2 of 2
Before TJOFLAT, MARTIN and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Ron Smith, appointed counsel for Galal Ramadan, 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, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18
L. Ed. 2d 493 (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 Ramadan’s convictions and
sentences are AFFIRMED. Ramadan’s request for a 60-day extension to file an
initial appellate brief is DENIED AS MOOT.
Additionally, there is a clerical error in the judgment—Count 1 of the
judgment incorrectly notes that Ramadan was convicted of conspiracy to commit
mail fraud and conversion of public property, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371.
However, Ramadan was indicted and convicted of conspiracy to commit mail
fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349. Accordingly, the case is REMANDED to
the district court with instructions to correct the clerical error in Count 1 of the
judgment.
