                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Northern District of Texas
                               USDC No. 4:22-CR-130-1
                      ______________________________

   Before Higginbotham, Stewart, and Southwick, Circuit
   Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The attorney appointed to represent Lee Herman Hall 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).
   Hall has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow
   us to make a fair evaluation of Hall’s claim of ineffective assistance of
          _____________________

                                     No. 23-10290

   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 Hall’s response.         We concur with
   counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for
   appellate review. 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. Hall’s motion for the
   appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED as untimely. See United
   States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
