UNITED STATES v. JONES (2020)

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Alton JONES, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 20-10939

Decided: December 18, 2020

Before JILL PRYOR, LUCK and EDMONDSON, Circuit Judges. Peter J. Sholl, U.S. Attorney Service - Middle District of Florida, U.S. Attorney's Office, Tampa, FL, for Plaintiff - Appellee Christine N. Bird, Alavi & Pozzuto, PA, Ocala, FL, Rosemary Cakmis, Federal Public Defender's Office, Orlando, FL, for Defendant - Appellant Alton Jones, Pro Se

Shehnoor Kaur Grewal, appointed counsel for Alton Jones in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and has 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 Jones's conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
