UNITED STATES v. PEARSON (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Rodrigus Lee PEARSON, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 17-13282

Decided: May 24, 2018

Before WILLIAM PRYOR, MARTIN and FAY, Circuit Judges. Michael B. Billingsley, Praveen S. Krishna, U.S. Attorney Service—Northern District of Alabama, U.S. Attorney's Office, Birmingham, AL, for Plaintiff-Appellee Rodrigus Lee Pearson, Pro Se

Gregory J. Reid, appointed counsel for Pearson 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 Pearson’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
