UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Misael PAREDES, Defendant-Appellant, 459 F. App'x 821

PER CURIAM: Cynthia J. Hernandez, appointed counsel for appellant Misael Paredes in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of Pa-redes and has 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 this appeal is correct. Because independent reexamination of the entire record reveals no issues of arguable merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Paredes’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
