UNITED STATES v. DANIELS (2021)

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Hernandez Lopaz DANIELS, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 21-10883

Decided: September 03, 2021

Before JILL PRYOR, BRANCH and LUCK, Circuit Judges.

Robert G. Davies, U.S. Attorney Service-Northern District of Florida, U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Florida, Pensacola, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee. Richard Michael Summa, Federal Public Defender's Office, Tallahassee, FL, for Defendant-Appellant. Hernandez Daniels, Coleman, FL, Pro Se.

Randolph Murrell, counsel for Hernandez Lopaz Daniels in this appeal of the denial of his motion for a sentence reduction under the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404(b), 132 Stat. 5194, 5222 (“First Step Act”), 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). 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 the district court's denial of Daniels's motion for a sentence reduction under the First Step Act is AFFIRMED.
