DAMIEN EARL KIMBLE,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:18-CR-142-3

Before STEWART, DENNIS, and HO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Damien Earl Kimble 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).

Kimble has filed a response and an incorporated motion to remand the case to 

the district court for resentencing. The record is not sufficiently developed to 

allow us to make a fair evaluation of Kimble’s claims of ineffective assistance 

* 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

of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims 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 portions of the record 

reflected therein, as well as Kimble’s response. We concur with counsel’s 

assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. 

Accordingly, the incorporated motion to remand is DENIED, 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.
