The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the conviction and sentence of Davey Green for distributing a controlled substance. The court granted appointed counsel's motion to withdraw after an independent review found no arguable issues of merit.
Background
Davey Green appealed his conviction and sentence for distributing a controlled substance in violation of Section twenty-one thousand five hundred forty-one of Title twenty-one of the United States Code. His appointed counsel, Leigh Ann Webster, moved to withdraw and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, asserting that the appeal lacked arguable issues of merit.
The court’s reasoning
The court conducted an independent review of the entire record. The examination revealed that counsel’s assessment was correct and that no arguable issues of merit existed.
What it means going forward
The decision affirms the lower court’s judgment and allows appointed counsel to withdraw from the case without further representation.
