UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Manuel Enrique PEREZ-VILLARREAL, Defendant-Appellant
    No. 16-40220 Conference Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Filed October 18, 2016
    
      Renata Ann Gowie, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Manuel Enrique Perez-Villarreal, Pro Se.'
    Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Manuel Enrique Perez-Villarreal 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). Perez-Villarreal has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Perez-Villarreal’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).

Wé have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Perez-Villarreal’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. The motion for the removal of counsel and the appointment of new counsel 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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
