Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Steven McGrew, Sr., 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).
McGrew has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow
us to make a fair evaluation of McGrew’s claims of ineffective assistance of

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

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).
      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as McGrew’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. McGrew’s motion to proceed pro se on appeal is DENIED.
See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
