Thomas John Butler, appointed counsel in this direct criminal appeal for Hector Bruno, Jr., has moved to withdraw from further representation of Bruno and has filed 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 *913 counsel’s assessment of tbe 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 Bruno’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
