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).

Bowie has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow

this court to make a fair evaluation of Bowie’s claims of ineffective assistance 

of counsel, so we decline to consider them, 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 

reflected therein, and Bowie’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.
