UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Eric Lapaul HARPER, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 13-40682
    Conference Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    April 16, 2014.
    Michelle Suzanne Englade, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Beaumont, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Eric Lapaul Harper, Bastrop, TX, pro se.
    
      Before PRADO, ELROD, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The attorney appointed to represent Eric LaPaul Harper has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir.2011). Harper has filed a response.

The record does not provide sufficient detail to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Harper’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claim 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 Harper’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s 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. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
