   United States of America,

                                                                       Plaintiff—Appellee,

   Jose Francisco Olvera-Rodriguez,

                                               Defendant—Appellant.
                      ______________________________

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Southern District of Texas
                               USDC No. 1:23-CR-196-1
                      ______________________________

   Before King, Haynes, and Graves, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jose Francisco
   Olvera-Rodriguez 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). Olvera-Rodriguez has filed a response.
   The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation

Case: 23-40431     Document: 00517020106           Page: 2   Date Filed: 01/03/2024

                                    No. 23-40431

   of Olvera-Rodriguez’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).
          We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein, as well as Olvera-Rodriguez’s response. We concur
   with counsel’s assessment that the 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 appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
