Before DUBINA, MARCUS and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Frederick G. Helmsing, Jr., appointed counsel for Dianne Marie Pettway, 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 Pettway’s conviction and

sentence are AFFIRMED.
