withdraw and has filed a brief per Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), 

and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Martinez has filed a 

response. The record is not sufficiently developed for a fair evaluation of Martinez’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider them but without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. 

Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).

We have reviewed counsel’s brief, relevant portions of the record, and 

Martinez’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. To the 

extent that Martinez moves for the appointment of substitute counsel, the 

motion is DENIED. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902−03 (5th 

Cir. 1998).
