                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Middle District of Florida
                         ________________________

                               (January 29, 2020)

Before WILSON, ROSENBAUM and BLACK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Ali Kamalzadeh, appointed counsel for Mohammad Malek in this direct

criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the
              Case: 19-11781    Date Filed: 01/29/2020   Page: 2 of 2


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 Malek’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
