JORGE ALBERTO FUENTES-AGUIRRE,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 7:14-CR-1373-1


Before JONES, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jorge Alberto
Fuentes-Aguirre 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). Fuentes-Aguirre has filed a response.
The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of
Fuentes-Aguirre’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

                                 No. 15-41236

decline to consider the claim 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 Fuentes-Aguirre’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.       Fuentes-Aguirre’s motion for the
appointment of substitute counsel, incorporated in his response, and his
motion to stay the proceedings are DENIED.
