Thomas John Butler, appointed counsel for Jimmy Joseph in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of Joseph 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 Joseph’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
