Before TJOFLAT, PRYOR and HILL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
George Bedell, appointed counsel for Valentin de la Cruz 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 de la Cruz’s conviction and
sentence are AFFIRMED.
