Thomas Butler, counsel for Omar Garcia in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief pursuant to *935 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 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 Garcia’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
