                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:14-CR-239-1

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Douglas Riley Moore 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).
Moore has filed a response, in which he moves to dismiss counsel. The record
is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Moore’s
claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

claim 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 Moore’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, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See
5TH CIR. R. 42.2. Moore’s pro se motion to dismiss counsel is DENIED.
