Before TJOFLAT, MARCUS and ROSENBAUM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Tanya Higgins, appointed counsel for Kenneth Hill 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 (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 Hill’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
