   Alfonso Butler, Jr.,

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 4:22-CR-11-1

   Before Stewart, Duncan, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Alfonso Butler,
   Jr., 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). Butler has filed a response. To the extent he raises a
   claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, the record is not sufficiently

Case: 22-10591      Document: 00516570315          Page: 2      Date Filed: 12/07/2022

                                    No. 22-10591

   developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Butler’s claim; 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 Butler’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.
