Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

NAUN NAVARRO-MEJIA,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 5:09-CR-743-1

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Naun Navarro-Mejia

has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders

v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Navarro-Mejia has filed a response. The

record is insufficiently developed to allow consideration at this time of NavarroMejia’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; such a claim generally “cannot

be resolved on direct appeal when the claim has not been raised before the

district court since no opportunity existed to develop the record on the merits of

the allegations.” United States v. Cantwell, 470 F.3d 1087, 1091 (5th Cir. 2006)

(internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Our independent review of the

record, counsel’s brief, and Navarro-Mejia’s response discloses no nonfrivolous

issue for appeal. 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.
