California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores,

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 Vorhies’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.
