UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. JOSE MIGUEL ALMONTE, a.k.a. Braulio, a.k.a. Raul, Defendant-Appellant.
[DO NOT PUBLISH] Non-Argument Calendar D.C. Docket No. 1:11-cr-00537-TCB-LTW-1 Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia Before TJOFLAT, MARCUS and WILLIAM PRYOR, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:
John Lovell, appointed counsel for Jose Miguel Almonte 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, and Almonte's conviction and sentence is AFFIRMED.
