UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Fidel Galarza CARDENAS, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 13-20726
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    June 30, 2015.
    Renata Ann Gowie, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Lourdes Rodriguez, Houston, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Fidel Galarza Cardenas, Oakdale, LA, pro se.
    Before DAVIS, CLEMENT, and ' COSTA, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The attorney appointed to represent Fidel Galarza Cardenas 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). Cardenas has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Cardenas’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider them without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 135 S.Ct. 123, 190 L.Ed.2d 94 (2014).

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Cardenas’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. Cardenas’s motion to file a pro se brief is DENIED. 
      
       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.
