2 Opinion of the Court 22-12407
Before BRANCH, LAGOA, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Meghan Ann Collins, appointed counsel for Michael
Belmares in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw
from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief pursu-
ant to Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent
review of the record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the rela-
tive merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examina-
tion of the record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s mo-
tion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Belmares’s convictions and
sentences are AFFIRMED.
