IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 18-10619

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

RICKEY LAVELL JENNINGS,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 3:17-CR-45-1

Before CLEMENT, GRAVES, and OLDHAM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Rickey Lavell Jennings 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). Jennings has filed responses. The record is not sufficiently 

developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Jennings’s claim of 

ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claim

* 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.

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 parts of the record 

reflected therein, as well as Jennings’s responses. 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. Jennings’s untimely request for appointment of new counsel 

on appeal is DENIED. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th 

Cir. 1998).
