Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

MARVIN LEON SHILLING,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:13-CR-25-1

Before JONES, SOUTHWICK, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Marvin Leon 

Shilling 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). Shilling has filed a response. The record is not 

sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Shilling’s claims

that his guilty plea was made in reliance on unkept promises or ineffective 

 

* 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.

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.), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 123 (2014); United States v. Corbett, 742 F.2d 

173, 176-78 (5th Cir. 1984).

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record 

reflected therein, as well as Shilling’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. Shilling’s incorporated motion for the appointment of 

substitute counsel is DENIED.
