Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Florida
________________________
(March 23, 2011)
Before CARNES, PRYOR and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Robert Augustus Harper, Jr., appointed counsel for James Johnson 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, Johnson’s motion for the
appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED, and Johnson’s convictions and
sentences are AFFIRMED.
