                  Appeals from the United States District Court
                       for the Northern District of Texas
                               No. 3:17-CR-629-1




Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *

       The attorney appointed to represent Fernando Silverio Paniagua has


       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 18-11004    Document: 00514950689     Page: 2      Date Filed: 05/09/2019


                                 No. 18-11004

moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief per Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738
(1967), and United States v. Flores, 
632 F.3d 229
(5th Cir. 2011).
Silverio Paniagua has filed a response and requests new appointed counsel.
The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of
Silverio Paniagua’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore
decline to consider the claims, but without prejudice to collateral review. See
United States v. Isgar, 
739 F.3d 829
, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).

      We have reviewed counsel’s brief, relevant portions of the record, and
Silverio Paniagua’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, the motion for new appointed counsel is DENIED, and
the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
