    R. Brian Tanner, James D. Durham, Brian T. Rafferty, James Christian Stuc-hell, Edward J. Tarver, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Savannah, GA, Andrew M. Kramer, Jones Day, Washington, D.C., for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    
      Robert Nason Nye, III, Nye & Siamos, PC, Savannah, GA, for Defendantr-Appel-lant.
    Before TJOFLAT, MARTIN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Robert N. Nye, III, appointed counsel for Christopher J. Cooper 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 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 Cooper’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
