                                             versus

   Orlando Lewayne Pilcher,

                                               Defendant—Appellant.
                      ______________________________

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Northern District of Texas
                               USDC No. 4:22-CR-104-1
                      ______________________________

   Before Elrod, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Orlando
   Lewayne Pilcher 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). Pilcher has filed responses and moved
   for leave to file an out of time response.

          _____________________

              This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5.
Case: 23-10300     Document: 00517011080           Page: 2   Date Filed: 12/21/2023

                                    No. 23-10300

          We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein, as well as Pilcher’s responses and motions. We
   concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous
   issue for appellate review.    Additionally, the record is not sufficiently
   developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Pilcher’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).
          Accordingly, while Pilcher’s motions to file his out of time responses
   are GRANTED, the motion for leave to withdraw is also GRANTED and
   counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is
   DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
