v.

FLOYD KEITH SULLINS,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:07-CR-114-1

Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Floyd Keith Sullins
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). Sullins has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently
developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Sullins’s claims of ineffective
assistance of counsel or threats against him; we therefore decline to consider

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 15-10363    Document: 00513358719     Page: 2    Date Filed: 01/27/2016

                                 No. 15-10363

the claims without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar,
739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 123 (2014); United States
v. Corbett, 742 F.2d 173, 176-78 & n.11 (5th Cir. 1984).
      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Sullins’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.
