UNITED STATES v. HARDMAN (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. David HARDMAN, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 18-14225

Decided: September 20, 2019

Before MARTIN, NEWSOM, and GRANT, Circuit Judges.

Todd B. Grandy, U.S. Attorney Service - Middle District of Florida, U.S. Attorney's Office, Tampa, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee Michael Shay Ryan, Rosemary Cakmis, Donna Lee Elm, Federal Public Defender's Office, Orlando, FL, for Defendant-Appellant David Hardman, Pro Se

Aliza Hochman Bloom, an Assistant Federal Defender and appointed counsel for David Bruce Hardman 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, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). In response, Hardman moved for leave to dismiss his counsel and proceed pro se on appeal. 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, Hardman’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED, and Hardman’s motion is DENIED AS MOOT.
