                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                           for the Eastern District of Texas

   Before Wiener, Stewart, and Douglas, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Edwin Pedro Galicia 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). Galicia has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently
   developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Galicia’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).
          We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein, as well as Galicia’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.
