DONTRAYE POTTER, also known as Tre,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeals from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 3:14-CR-368-1

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Dontraye Potter 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). Potter has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed 

to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Potter’s claims of ineffective assistance 

 

* 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.

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).

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

reflected therein, as well as Potter’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. Potter’s motion to relieve counsel and appoint new counsel is 

DENIED.
