No. 19-10758
Lyle W. Cayce
Conference Calendar Clerk
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
KIRBY ERWIN GOWLAND,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:18-CR-243-1
Before CLEMENT, GRAVES, and OLDHAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The attorney appointed to represent Kirby Erwin Gowland 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). Gowland has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently
developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Gowland’s claim of ineffective
assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claim 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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 Gowland’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. Gowland’s motions to stay and for leave to file an out-of-time
supplemental brief are DENIED.
