v.

CESAR ORDUNO FAVELA HERNANDEZ,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 3:14-CR-186-1

Before WIENER, HIGGINSON, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Cesar Orduno
Favela Hernandez (Favela) 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). Favela has filed a response. The
record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of
Favela’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 15-10139     Document: 00513319689     Page: 2   Date Filed: 12/23/2015

                                  No. 15-10139

consider the claim without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v.
Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 123 (2014).
      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Favela’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.
