Robin J. Farnsworth, appointed counsel for Luis Enrique Diaz in this direct criminal appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief prepared 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 *109 merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Diaz’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
