   Before Jolly, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Golwer Jovany Cruz-Silva has
   moved for leave to withdraw and has filed briefs in accordance with Anders v.
   California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th

   ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims
   without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d
   829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).
          We have reviewed counsel’s briefs and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein, as well as Cruz-Silva’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.
