v.

ISRAEL FLORES, JR.,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 7:13-CR-19


Before KING, JOLLY, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Israel Flores, Jr. 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).
Flores has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us
to make a fair evaluation of Flores’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel;
we therefore decline to consider the claims without prejudice to collateral


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

review. See United States v. Isgar, 
739 F.3d 829
, 841 (5th Cir.), cert. denied,
135 S. Ct. 123
(2014).
      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Flores’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.
