Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Alabama
Before HULL, PRYOR and BLACK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:
Michael P. Hanle, appointed counsel for Leonel Soto 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 issue of merit, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Soto's convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
