filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (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 to withdraw is
GRANTED, and Smith’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. Kalvin
Smith’s motion for appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED as moot.
