                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:12-CR-903-1


Before ELROD, SOUTHWICK, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Ruben Lopez-Lara has moved for
leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California,

(1967), and United States v. Flores, 

(5th Cir. 2011).
Lopez-Lara has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to
allow us to make a fair evaluation of Lopez-Lara’s claims of ineffective
assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 

, 841
(5th Cir.), cert. denied, 

(2014).
      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Lopez-Lara’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.
