Before WILLIAM PRYOR, MARTIN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
David H. Jones, appointed counsel for Ruffino Torres-Pineda in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of Torres-Pineda 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 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 Torres Pineda's convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
