Tracy N. DaCruz, appointed counsel for Abdul Cunningham in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of Cunningham and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. Califor nia, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Our independent review of the 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 merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Cunningham’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
