UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
DAMION HAWTHORNE,
Defendant-Appellant.
________________________
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.
