IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-30437

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

CHRIS E. WILLIAMS, also known as Spank,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeals from the United States District Court

for the Middle District of Louisiana

USDC No. 3:13-CR-146-2

Before DAVIS, ELROD, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Chris E. Williams

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). Williams has filed a response. The record is not 

sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Williams’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.), 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 Williams’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.
