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
Brightwell’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
