Legal appeal process and terms felony drug trafficking charges

An Anders Brief was filed by an appeal attorney and I found the last thing written was affirmed per curiam affirmed. What does this mean and what would be our next step in this process?

Latin for "by the court" where the court gives an order or decision on the whole operating as a single body without any particular judge being the author. Generally, you may have run out of options unless you can show that your case deserves to be heard by the next level of the court of which your chances are probably slim.
