                  Appeals from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                            USDC No. 3:16-CR-2056-1
                            USDC No. 3:17-CR-148-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Dimas Juan
Antonio Rodriguez-Gonzalez 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 Cir. 2011). Rodriguez-Gonzalez has filed a
response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair
evaluation of Rodriguez-Gonzalez’s claim of 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 briefs and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Rodriguez-Gonzalez’s response. We concur with
counsel’s assessment that the appeals present no nonfrivolous issue for
appellate review. Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,
counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEALS ARE
DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
