Before JORDAN, ROSENBAUM and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Mark W. Ciaravella, appointed counsel for Edwin Vidal Torres 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 (1967). In a pro se response to counsel’s motion to withdraw, Torres
requests that counsel’s motion be denied or that new counsel be appointed to brief
his appeal. 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, Torres’s request for appointment of new
counsel to brief his appeal is DENIED, and Torres’s convictions and sentences are
AFFIRMED.
