assistance 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 Jorgensen’s response. We concur with

GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and 

the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
