No. 15-40715

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

JAIME SILVA CAVAZOS,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:13-CR-181-2

Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Jamie Silva Cavazos 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).

Cavazos has filed a short response. The record is not sufficiently developed to 

allow us to make a fair evaluation of Cavazos’s unspecified claim of ineffective 

assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claim without 

 

* 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.

prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 

(5th Cir. 2014). To the extent Cavazos requests new counsel, that request is 

denied. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).

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

reflected therein, as well as Cavazos’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.
