Mary Erickson, appointed counsel for Tony Maurice Graves in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of Graves 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 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 Graves’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
