Randolph P. Murrell, appointed counsel for Gaspar Bishop, 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). We have reviewed both counsel’s brief and Bishop’s response. Our independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. *364 Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Bishops’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
