Court-appointed counsel for Richard Anthony Fechter seeks to withdraw on appeal 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 reveals no arguable issues of merit on which to base an appeal, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Fechter’s convictions and sentence are AFFIRMED.
