Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Florida

(March 13, 2020) Before ED CARNES, Chief Judge, GRANT, and LUCK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Case: 19-12135 Date Filed: 03/13/2020 Page: 2 of 2

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.
