Cynthia J. Hernandez, appointed counsel for Errardo Santillana, has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief prepared pursuant to Anders v. Cali fornia, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Our independent review of the entire record reveals that coun *706 sel’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 motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
