Before TJOFLAT, WILSON and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Michael R. Howard, appointed counsel for Christopher R. Ely 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). Because independent examination of the entire
record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is
GRANTED, and Ely’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
