Before Elrod, Chief Judge, and Haynes and Duncan, Circuit Judges. 

Per Curiam:*

The attorney appointed to represent Eloy Espinoza-Salamanca 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). Espinoza-Salamanca has not filed a response. Insofar as the

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

of the claim; we therefore decline to consider the claim 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. 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.
