JORGE DAMIAN AGUIRRE SIFUENTES, JR.,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:16-CR-130-1

Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jorge Damian
Aguirre Sifuentes, Jr. 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). Aguirre Sifuentes has filed a response.
The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of
Aguirre Sifuentes’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 17-40449    Document: 00514574068     Page: 2   Date Filed: 07/27/2018

                                 No. 17-40449

decline to consider the claim 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 Aguirre Sifuentes’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.
