                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Northern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 3:21-CR-124-1
                   ______________________________

Before Willett, Duncan, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:*
       The attorney appointed to represent Tlatoani Itzcoatl Peralta Romero
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). Peralta Romero has filed a response. The record is not
sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Peralta

Case: 23-10666        Document: 43-1       Page: 2   Date Filed: 04/03/2024

                                 No. 23-10666

Romero’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 Peralta Romero’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.
