                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:15-CR-821-1

Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jesus Corona-Rojas
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). Corona-Rojas has filed a response. The record is not
sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Corona-Rojas’s
claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

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 Corona-Rojas’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.
