Defendant-Appellant.

PER CURIAM:
Joseph Johnson, counsel for William Joseph Califano, 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 issues of merit, counsel’s motion is GRANTED,
and Califano’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
