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 Williams’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. Because
we have concluded that no arguable issues of merit exist, Williams’s motions for
appointment of new counsel and relief under Fed. R. App. P. 31 are DENIED as
moot.
