UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                                 Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

DECORIAN LAMON WILLIAMS,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 3:18-CR-99-1

Before HIGGINSON, COSTA, and HO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Decorian Lamon
Williams 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). Williams has filed a response. The record is not
sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Williams’s claims
of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 18-10696     Document: 00514858559    Page: 2   Date Filed: 03/04/2019

                                 No. 18-10696

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 Williams’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.
