Docket No. 6:21-cr-00103-RBD-DCI-1 ____________________ USCA11 Case: 22-11981 2 Document: 23-1 Date Filed: 03/02/2023 Opinion of the Court Page: 2 of 2 22-11981 Before JORDAN, LAGOA, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Thomas Dale, appointed counsel for Michael Little in his direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of Mr. Little and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). In his response to Mr. Dale’s motion, Mr. Little filed his own motion for substitution of counsel, asserting a breakdown in communication between himself and Mr. Dale. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Mr. Little’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED. Mr. Little’s motion for substitution of counsel is DENIED as moot. To the extent that Mr. Little asserts that Mr. Dale rendered ineffective assistance of counsel, he can raise such claims in a motion to vacate pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255.
