   Before Jones, Southwick, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Michael Deblasio 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).
   Deblasio has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to

   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 Deblasio’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,
   Deblasio’s motion for an extension to find and retain an attorney is
   DENIED, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
