UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Jesus PARAMO, Defendant-Appellant
    No. 16-11383 Summary Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Filed August 1, 2017
    James Wesley Hendrix, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Texas, Dallas, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Jesus Paramo, Pro Se
    Before WIENER, DENNIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jesus Paramo 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). Paramo has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Paramo’s response. We agree with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivo-lous issue for appellate review. We generally do not entertain claims of ineffective assistance of counsel that have not previously been presented to the district court and decline to do so here without prejudice to Paramo’s ability to bring such claims on collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).

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. Paramo’s motion to reject counsel’s brief and to appoint new counsel is DENIED. Cf. United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998). 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
