Before: ANDERSON, BARKETT and WILSON, Circuit Judges


B Y T H E C O U R T:

      Chet Kaufman, appointed counsel for Dwayne Montgomery, has filed a motion

to withdraw on appeal supported by a brief prepared 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 Montgomery’s

conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
