      The Office of the Federal Public Defender, appointed appellate counsel for

Thelton Jacob 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, 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 Jacob=s conviction

and sentence are AFFIRMED.
