Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Maurice C. Grant, II, appointed counsel for Patrick Blackwood in this direct criminal appeal, has filed a renewed motion to withdraw from further representation of the appellant, supported by a brief filed 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 Blackwood's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
