RAUL RAFAEL MORALES-SANCHEZ, also known as Anthony C. Jaramillo,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 6:13-CR-50-1

Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Raul Rafael 

Morales-Sanchez 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). Morales-Sanchez has filed a response.

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

Morales-Sanchez’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore 

* 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

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 Morales-Sanchez’s response. 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.
