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.
