v.

HUEY JOSEPH HEBERT, III,

                                                  Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:12-CR-121-1

Before WIENER, HIGGINSON, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
STEPHEN A. HIGGINSON, Circuit Judge: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Huey Joseph Hebert, III, 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). Hebert has filed a response in which he argues, inter alia, that his
appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance by asserting that Hebert’s
appeal waiver is enforceable.

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir.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: 15-20479      Document: 00513554544   Page: 2   Date Filed: 06/20/2016

                                 No. 15-20479

      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Hebert’s response.    We concur with counsel’s
assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review.
We decline to consider Hebert’s ineffective assistance of counsel claim, without
prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841
(5th Cir. 2014).
      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.
