Faith Mesnekoff, appointed counsel for Arne Soreide in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief 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 argua-. ble issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Soreide’s sentence is AFFIRMED.
