UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

CESAR ORDUNO FAVELA HERNANDEZ,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 3:14-CR-186-1

Before WIENER, HIGGINSON, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Cesar Orduno 

Favela Hernandez (Favela) 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). Favela has filed a response. The 

record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of 

Favela’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to 

 

* 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.

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 Favela’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.
