                      ______________________________

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Southern District of Texas
                               USDC No. 4:19-CR-196-1
                      ______________________________

   Before Stewart, Duncan, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Ivan Pagoaga
   Castro has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed briefs in accordance
   with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632
   F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Castro has filed a response. The record is not
   sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Castro’s claims

                                    No. 19-20594

   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 briefs and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein, as well as Castro’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.
