United States v. Walker

¶1 Charles E. Taylor, appointed counsel for Victor John Walker in this direct crim *781 inal 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, including Walker’s response to counsel’s motion to withdraw, reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Walker’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
