Before TJOFLAT, ANDERSON and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Rick D. Collum, appointed counsel for James E. Thornton in this direct
criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation 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 confirms that
there are no issues of arguable merit on appeal. Therefore, counsel’s motion to
withdraw is GRANTED, and Thornton’s convictions and sentences are
AFFIRMED.
