    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Lafonda Monta GREEN, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 05-14494
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    May 29, 2007.
    Patrick O. Sims, Hood, Sims & Neff, LLC, Tuscaloosa, AL, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Laura Drinkard Hodge, U.S. Attorney/Northern District of Alabama, Birmingham, AL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Before ANDERSON, BARKETT and HILL, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Patrick O. Sims, appointed appellate counsel for Lafonda Monta Green, has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief prepared 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, Green’s motion for appointment of new counsel is DENIED as moot, . and his convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED. 
      
      . Sims has titled his motion as: (1) “motion tor leave to file motion to withdraw;” and (2) "motion to renew appellant’s Anders brief out of time.” We construe Sims’s motions as one motion to withdraw, and, therefore, collectively refer to counsel’s "motion to withdraw.”
