UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. HOSEA SCOTT, Defendant-Appellant.
[DO NOT PUBLISH] Non-Argument Calendar D.C. Docket No. 4:18-cr-00262-RSB-CLR-1 Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia Before JORDAN, GRANT, and LAGOA, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:
Paul Calhoun, appointed counsel for Hosea Scott 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). Scott, in turn, has filed a motion to discharge Calhoun as counsel. 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, Scott's motion to discharge counsel is DENIED AS MOOT, and Scott's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
