Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:13-CR-268
Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The attorney appointed to represent Martel Arana-Jaimez 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).
Arana-Jaimez has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to

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 Arana-Jaimez’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. Arana-Jaimez’s motion for the
appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED.
