v.

DAVID FRANKLIN BECK, JR.,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 6:15-CR-4-2


Before HIGGINSON, COSTA, and HO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent David Franklin Beck, Jr., 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). Beck has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed
to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Beck’s claims of ineffective assistance




       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 18-40464

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 Beck’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. Beck’s motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
