                             USDC No. 4:13-CR-234-2

Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Billy Lane 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). Lane
has filed a response.       We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

appellate review.    We decline to consider Lane’s ineffective assistance of
counsel claims, without prejudice to his ability to assert such claims on
collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).
      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.
