ROSENDO ARIAS-SAMANO,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 7:14-CR-453-1


Before DAVIS, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Rosendo Arias-
Samano 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). Arias-Samano has filed a response. The record is not
sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Arias-Samano’s
claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

claim without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 
739 F.3d 829
, 841 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 
135 S. Ct. 123
(2014).
      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Arias-Samano’s response.           We concur with
counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for
appellate review. Accordingly, Arias-Samano’s motion for the appointment of
new counsel is DENIED, 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. Arias-Samano’s motion for an extension of
time is DENIED as moot.
