for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:14-CR-711-1

Before JOLLY, GRAVES, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Emiliano ArandaMartinez 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). Aranda-Martinez has filed a response. The record is 

not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of ArandaMartinez’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to 

 

* 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.

consider the claim 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 Aranda-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. Aranda-Martinez’s motion for appointment 

of counsel is DENIED.
