UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. ANTONIO GABRIEL MITCHELL, Defendant-Appellant.
[DO NOT PUBLISH] Non-Argument Calendar D.C. Docket No. 5:17-cr-00117-RDP-SGC-1 Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama Before ED CARNES, Chief Judge, JORDAN, and NEWSOM, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:
Perry Russell Steen, appointed counsel for Antonio Mitchell in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant, because, in his opinion, the appeal is without merit. Counsel has 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 Mitchell's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
