Before TJOFLAT, EDMONDSON and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Raymond A. Pierson, appointed counsel for James Kevin Puckett 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 arguable issues of merit,
counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Puckett’s conviction and
sentence is AFFIRMED.
