                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 7:21-CR-1649-1
                     ______________________________

   Before King, Haynes, and Graves, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
         The attorney appointed to represent Angel Garcia-Villasenor 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). Garcia-Villasenor has not filed a response. We have
   reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected

Case: 22-40767     Document: 00516819696           Page: 2   Date Filed: 07/13/2023

                                    No. 22-40767

   therein, as well as the pro se arguments attached to Garcia-Villasenor’s
   notice of appeal.
          We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no
   nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. The record is not sufficiently
   developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Garcia-Villasenor’s claims
   of 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). 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.
