NATHAN BRYANT COOPER,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 4:15-CR-151-27


Before DAVIS, SOUTHWICK, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Nathan Bryant Cooper 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).     Cooper has filed a response.           The record is not sufficiently
developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Cooper’s claims of ineffective
assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

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 Cooper’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.
