IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-50440

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

LUIS GERARDO MARTINEZ-LEYVA,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. 3:11-CR-2196-3

Before KING, JOLLY, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Luis Gerardo Martinez-Leyva 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). Martinez-Leyva has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently 

developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Martinez-Leyva’s claims of 

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

 

* 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 Martinez-Leyva’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. Martinez-Leyva’s motion for the 

appointment of new counsel is DENIED.
