                                             versus

   Herman Zubia,

                                               Defendant—Appellant.
                      ______________________________

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                           for the Western District of Texas
                               USDC No. 7:22-CR-127-1
                      ______________________________

   Before Jolly, Jones, and Douglas, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The attorney appointed to represent Herman Zubia 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).
   Zubia has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow
   us to make a fair evaluation of his claims of ineffective assistance of counsel;

          _____________________
          *
              This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5.
Case: 23-50214     Document: 00517066613           Page: 2   Date Filed: 02/16/2024

                                    No. 23-50214

   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 Zubia’s response. We concur with
   counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for
   appellate review. 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.
