IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 15-40476
Conference Calendar
United States Court of Appeals
Fifth Circuit
FILED
June 21, 2016
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Lyle W. Cayce
Clerk
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
EILEEN BETH PRUITT,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:13-CR-269-9
Before JONES, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The attorney appointed to represent Eileen Beth Pruitt 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).
Pruitt has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us
to make a fair evaluation of Pruitt’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel;
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 15-40476
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 Pruitt’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. Pruitt’s untimely motion to appoint new counsel is DENIED.
