USCA11 Case: 19-15188 Date Filed: 06/11/2021 Page: 2 of 2
Before WILSON, LAGOA, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Paul Mooney, appointed counsel for Michael Lewis Pitts, 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).
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 Pitts’s convictions and total sentence are AFFIRMED. Pitts’s
request for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
