William K. Bradford, appointed counsel for Cedric Deshaun Banks 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).
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 Banks’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. Further, the
government’s motion to dismiss the appeal based on a valid appeal waiver and
Banks’s motion to discharge counsel and proceed pro se are DENIED as moot.
