2 Opinion of the Court 21-11645
Before R OSENBAUM , JILL PRYOR , and BRANCH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Grant K. Usry, appointed counsel for Walker Washington 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 (1967). Washington, in turn, has person-
ally requested that we either appoint substitute counsel or compel
Usry to continue representing him. 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 that could be
raised either by counsel or substitute counsel, counsel’s motion to
withdraw is GRANTED, Washington’s motion for substitute
counsel is DENIED, and Washington’s conviction and sentence are
AFFIRMED.
