                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:12-CR-99-1

Before REAVLEY, JONES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Adolfo Michael Sosa has moved for
leave to withdraw and has filed briefs in accordance with Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011).
Sosa has filed a letter in response. The record is not sufficiently developed to

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

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 briefs and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Sosa’s response.      We concur with counsel’s
assessment that Sosa’s 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.
