ELY DAVID ALEMAN PECINA,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:12-CR-696-2

Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Ely David Aleman Pecina (Aleman)
has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed briefs in accordance with Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229
(5th Cir. 2011). Aleman has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently
developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Aleman’s claims of ineffective
assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

                                  No. 13-41176

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 briefs and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Aleman’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. Aleman’s motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
