Du, District Judge, Presiding Submitted August 5, 2020 ** Before: SCHROEDER, HAWKINS, and LEE, Circuit Judges. Derek Allen Stokes appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea convictions and concurrent 13-month sentences for three counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal officers or employees, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 111(a)(1) and (b). Pursuant to Anders v.

Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED. AFFIRMED. 2 19-10433
