Jacqueline Shapiro, appointed counsel for Arthur Jones in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief 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 of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s *925 motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the denial of Jones’s motion to reduce his sentence per 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and Amendment 706 is AFFIRMED.
