                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Northern District of Texas
                               USDC No. 3:21-CR-376-1

   Before King, Higginson, and Willett, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The attorney appointed to represent Martin Tovar-Campos 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). Tovar-Campos has filed a response. The record is not
   sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Tovar-

                                    No. 22-10996

   Campos’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 rec-
   ord reflected therein, as well as Tovar-Campos’s response. We concur with
   counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for ap-
   pellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is
   GRANTED, and counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein.
   The appeal is DISMISSED in part as frivolous, see 5th Cir. R. 42.2, and
   in part as moot based on Tovar-Campos’s completion of his sentence, see
   Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7 (1998).
