Richard A. Selinger, appointed counsel for Teddy Leonel Cruz-Velez 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). Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Cruz-Velez’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
