FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
United States Court of Appeals
Fifth Circuit
No. 15-20771 FILED
Summary Calendar March 3, 2017
Lyle W. Cayce
Clerk
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
DELIA DIAZ,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:13-CR-628-2
Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The attorney appointed to represent Delia Diaz 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). Diaz
has filed a response, which asserts that her counsel failed to file “necessary
papers” so that her forfeited property would go to satisfy her restitution
obligations. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

evaluation of Diaz’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore
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 Diaz’s response. We concur with counsel’s
assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review.
Accordingly, counsel’s 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.
