Mark W. Ciaravella, appointed counsel for Jose Alfonso Quinones-Angulo on this direct criminal appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal 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 *985 examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Quinones-Angulo’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
