Arthur L. Wallace, III, appointed appellate counsel for Darrell Lavern Reaves, has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal because, in his opinion, there are no issues of arguable merit on which to base the appeal. Counsel’s motion is 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 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 *113to withdraw is GRANTED, and Reaves’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
