UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Alioune NDIONGUE, Defendant-Appellant, 515 F. App'x 799

PER CURIAM: Raymond A. Pierson, appointed counsel for Alioune Ndiongue in this 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 merits 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 Ndiongue’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
