The opinion
PER CURIAM:
Robert Nye, appointed counsel for Tish-ard Brown in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of Brown, arguing that there are no non-frivolous grounds on which Brown could appeal either his conviction or his sentence. Nye filed a brief identifying arguable issues for appeal pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 , 87 S.Ct. 1396 , 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Brown did not respond to Nye’s motion to withdraw or the Anders brief.
After a careful, independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no non-frivolous grounds on which Brown could base an appeal. For this reason, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Brown’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
