UNITED STATES v. MALEK (2020)

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Mohammad Abdul MALEK, a.k.a. Mac, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 19-11781

Decided: January 29, 2020

Before WILSON, ROSENBAUM and BLACK, Circuit Judges. Yvette Rhodes, U.S. Attorney Service - Middle District of Florida, U.S. Attorney's Office, Tampa, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee Rosemary Cakmis, Federal Public Defender's Office, Orlando, FL, Mark Rosenblum, Federal Public Defender's Office, Jacksonville, FL, for Defendant-Appellant Mohammad Abdul Malek, Pro Se

Ali Kamalzadeh, appointed counsel for Mohammad Malek 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 Malek’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
