Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Robin J. Farnsworth, on behalf of Michael Caruso, Interim Federal Public Defender and appointed counsel for Elíseo Cruz, has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief prepared pursuant to Anders v. California, 886 U.S. 788, 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 Cruz's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
