Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Georgia

(July 8, 2021)
Before WILLIAM PRYOR, Chief Judge, NEWSOM and ANDERSON, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:
USCA11 Case: 20-13110 Date Filed: 07/08/2021 Page: 2 of 2
Junita M. Holsey, appointed counsel for Tyrone Middleton, 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).
Middleton has moved for appointment of new counsel or for leave to proceed
pro se. 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, Middleton’s conviction and sentence are
AFFIRMED, and Middleton’s motion for appointment of counsel or for leave to
proceed pro se is DENIED.
