April 22, 2011.
Lawrence R. Sommerfeld, Michael John Brown, Randy Scott Chartash, Sally Yates, U.S. Attorney's Office, Atlanta, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Mary Erickson, Atlanta, GA, for Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. D.C. Docket No. 1:08-cr-00082-CC-1.
Before BARKETT, MARCUS and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
Mary Erickson, appointed counsel for Christopher Stoufflet 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). Stoufflet has filed a pro se motion for the appointment of new 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, Stoufflet's motion for the appointment of new counsel is DENIED, and Stoufflet's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
