OSCAR UBALDO ACOSTA-LEVARIO,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                  Appeals from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                            USDC No. 4:17-CR-341-1
                            USDC No. 4:17-CR-399-1

Before HIGGINSON, COSTA, and HO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Oscar Ubaldo
Acosta-Levario 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). Acosta-Levario has filed a response.
The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 18-50485    Document: 00514915754     Page: 2   Date Filed: 04/15/2019

                                 No. 18-50485
                               c/w No. 18-50487
Acosta-Levario’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline
to consider the claim 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 records
reflected therein, as well as Acosta-Levario’s response.       We concur with
counsel’s assessment that the consolidated appeal presents no nonfrivolous
issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw
is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the
APPEALS ARE DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
