UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. DAMION HAWTHORNE, Defendant-Appellant.
[DO NOT PUBLISH] Non-Argument Calendar D.C. Docket No. 1:18-cr-20919-JEM-1 Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida Before ED CARNES, Chief Judge, GRANT, and LUCK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:
Bonnie Phillips-Williams, appointed counsel for Damion Hawthorne in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and 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 Hawthorne's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
