Randee J. Golder, appointed counsel for Ricky Douglas Haynes, Jr., in this direct criminal appeal, has renewed her motion to withdraw from further representation of the appellant, pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Haynes has filed a *857 motion to discharge counsel and to appoint new counsel. Our independent review of the entire 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 to withdraw is GRANTED, Haynes’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED, and Haynes’s motion is DENIED as moot.
