v.

JUAN SAUCEDO-VIANEY, also known as Juan Saucedo, also known as Juan
Vianey-Saucedo,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:14-CR-113-1

Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Juan Saucedo-Vianey 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).
Saucedo-Vianey has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed
to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Saucedo-Vianey’s claims of ineffective

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

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.), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 123 (2014).
      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Saucedo-Vianey’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. Saucedo-Vianey’s request to
relieve counsel and to proceed pro se is DENIED as untimely. See United
States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
