USCA11 Case: 20-11264 Date Filed: 11/17/2020 Page: 1 of 2 [DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 20-11264 Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ D.C. Docket No. 8:93-cr-00158-JDW-TGW-1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus HENRY FRANCIS, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida ________________________ (November 17, 2020) Before JORDAN, LUCK, and FAY, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: USCA11 Case: 20-11264 Date Filed: 11/17/2020 Page: 2 of 2 Juliann Welch, appointed counsel for Henry Francis, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct given the district court’s exercise of discretion in denying Francis’ motion under the First Step Act. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s denial of Francis’ motion to reduce sentence is AFFIRMED. 2
