IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 14-41228
Summary Calendar
United States Court of Appeals
Fifth Circuit
FILED
August 24, 2015
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Lyle W. Cayce
Clerk
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
ROBERTO VELIZ,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 2:14-CR-105-1
Before KING, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The attorney appointed to represent Roberto Veliz 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). Veliz
has filed a response. To the extent Veliz may be deemed to argue that appellate
counsel was ineffective, the record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to
make a fair evaluation of Veliz’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 14-41228
therefore decline to consider the 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 Veliz’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.
