Before ANDERSON, DUBINA and BARKETT, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:

      Todd H. Seiden,, appointed counsel for Wilmer Edelberto Balma 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 Balma’s conviction

and sentence are AFFIRMED.
