IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-30849

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

THERON JONES, also known as T. J. Jones,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Louisiana

USDC No. 2:09-CR-398-4

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, ELROD, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Theron Jones 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).

Jones has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us 

to make a fair evaluation of Jones’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; 

we therefore decline to consider the claim without prejudice to such right as 

 

* 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.

Jones may have to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 

841 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 123 (2014).

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

reflected therein, as well as Jones’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.
