                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Northern District of Texas
                           USDC No. 2:22-CR-46-7
                  ______________________________

Before Davis, Willett, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam: *
      The attorney appointed to represent Raul Mancha Montoya 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). Mancha Montoya has filed a response. The record is not
sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Mancha

Case: 23-10604       Document: 48-1       Page: 2    Date Filed: 03/18/2024

                                 No. 23-10604

Montoya’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel or his claims that his
guilty plea was coerced by counsel’s promises; we therefore decline to
consider the claims without prejudice to any right Mancha Montoya may
have to raise them on collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d
829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014); United States v. Corbett, 742 F.2d 173, 175-78 & n.11
(5th Cir. 1984).
       We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
record reflected therein, as well as Mancha Montoya’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.
