                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Northern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 4:23-CR-147-1
                   ______________________________

Before Davis, Willett, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jacob Josiah
Mitchell-Bowlds 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). Mitchell-Bowlds has filed a response.
The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation

Case: 23-10979        Document: 42-1       Page: 2    Date Filed: 03/27/2024

                                 No. 23-10979

of Mitchell-Bowlds’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 brief and the relevant portions of the
record reflected therein, as well as Mitchell-Bowlds’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.
