v.

ERIC GARCIA,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                  Appeals from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 7:13-CR-128

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Eric Garcia 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).
Garcia has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow
us to make a fair evaluation of Garcia’s claim of ineffective assistance of
counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claim 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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 Garcia’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.
