UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

JESUS ISRAEL GUARDADO,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 3-12-CR-204-1

Before REAVLEY, DENNIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jesus Israel 

Guardado has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief and 

a supplemental brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 

(1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Guardado

has filed responses to the original brief and to the supplemental brief. We have 

reviewed counsel’s briefs and the relevant portions of the record reflected 

* 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

therein, as well as Guardado’s responses. We concur with counsel’s assessment 

that this appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Although 

Guardado urges this court to consider whether his attorney provided effective 

assistance of counsel under the Sixth Amendment, we conclude that the record 

is insufficiently developed on the pertinent issues, and we therefore decline to 

consider the matter. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir.

2014). Guardado may assert ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims in a 

habeas corpus motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. 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.
