                        for the Western District of Texas
                              USDC No. 7:19-CR-6-1

Before DAVIS, ELROD, and OLDHAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Ramiro E. Guzman-Pecina 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).     Guzman-Pecina has filed a response.              The record is not
sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Guzman-Pecina’s

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

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 Guzman-Pecina’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.
