Appeal from the United States District Court

(October 31, 2018)
Before MARCUS, JORDAN and ROSENBAUM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
John D. Carson, Jr., appointed counsel for Anthony Atkins in this direct
criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the
Case: 18-10340 Date Filed: 10/31/2018 Page: 2 of 2
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 Atkins’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. Atkins’s
motion for new counsel is DENIED.
