                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 4:18-CR-740-1


   Before Jones, Clement, and Haynes, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Mack Biggers has moved for
   leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California,
   
386 U.S. 738
(1967), and United States v. Flores, 
632 F.3d 229
(5th Cir. 2011).
   Biggers has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow


          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this
   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
   circumstances set forth in 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

   us to make a fair evaluation of Biggers’s claims of ineffective assistance of
   counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without prejudice to
   collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 
739 F.3d 829
, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).
          We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein, as well as Biggers’s response. We concur with
   counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for
   appellate review.     Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is
   GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and
   the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
