UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Andre PIERRE-RENE, a.k.a. Doo-Doo, a.k.a. Rene, Defendant-Appellant, 184 F. App'x 890

PER CURIAM: Joel D. Robrish, appointed counsel for Andre Pierre-Rene 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 Pierre-Rene’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.

We also DENY Pierre-Rene’s motion for appointment of counsel as moot in light of our grant of counsel’s motion to withdraw.
