v.

JESUS GARCIA-ACOSTA,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:13-CR-398

Before KING, JOLLY, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jesus Garcia-Acosta

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). Garcia-Acosta has filed a response and a supplemental 

response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair 

evaluation of Garcia-Acosta’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we 

* 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

therefore decline to consider the claim without prejudice 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 Garcia-Acosta’s responses. We concur with 

counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for 

appellate review. 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.
