                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Middle District of Louisiana
                                USDC No. 3:21-CR-40-1
                      ______________________________

   Before King, Higginson, and Willett, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Keyon Pullins
   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).         Pullins has filed a response. The record is not
   sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Pullins’s claim

                                    No. 22-30558

   sounding in ineffective assistance of counsel; 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, as well as Pullins’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.
