UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
KYLE M. GOVINDASAMY,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:15-CR-185-1
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Kyle M.
Govindasamy 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). Govindasamy has filed a response. The
record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of
Govindasamy’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 17-40062
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 Govindasamy’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.
