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 indepen *904 dent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Copeland’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
