IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 09-40762

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

DANIEL OGWOKA SIRINGI,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:09-CR-3-1

Before JOLLY, WIENER, and ELROD, Circuit Judges. 

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Daniel Ogwoka Siringi has moved for

leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California,

386 U.S. 738 (1967). Siringi has filed a response. The record is insufficiently

developed to allow consideration at this time of Siringi’s claims of ineffective

assistance of counsel; such claims generally “cannot be resolved on direct appeal

when they have not been raised before the district court since no opportunity

existed to develop the record on the merits of the allegations.” United States v.

Cantwell, 470 F.3d 1087, 1091 (5th Cir. 2006) (internal quotation marks and

citation omitted). Our independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and

Siringi’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. 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. Siringi’s motions for a hearing, for a restraining order, and for leave to

file documents are DENIED.
