PATRICK BREWER REGAN also known as Patrick Regan,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:11-CR-262-1

Before CLEMENT, HAYNES, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Patrick Brewer Regan 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). Regan has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed
to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Regan’s claims of ineffective assistance
of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without prejudice to

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014),
petition for cert. filed (June 4, 2014) (No. 13-10484).
      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Regan’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. Regan’s motions to stay and for appointment of counsel are
DENIED. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
