2 Opinion of the Court 20-11081
Before JORDAN, GRANT, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Elizabeth Pavlis, appointed counsel for Carlos Elder in this
direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further repre-
sentation of the appellant and filed a brief pursuant to
Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent review of the en-
tire record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of
the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the en-
tire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to
withdraw is GRANTED, and Mr. Elder’s conviction and sentence
are AFFIRMED.1
1 Given that this is a direct appeal, we do not address any ineffective assistance
of counsel issues.
