Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Mark G. Rodriguez, appointed counsel for Maria Ester Ortiz, has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal supported by a brief prepared pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Our independent review of the record reveals that counsel's assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguably meritorious issues, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Ortiz's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
