UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                                 Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

CHRIS E. WILLIAMS, also known as Spank,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                  Appeals from the United States District Court
                      for the Middle District of Louisiana
                            USDC No. 3:13-CR-146-2

Before DAVIS, ELROD, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Chris E. 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 claim
of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claim

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 14-30437     Document: 00512946080      Page: 2   Date Filed: 02/24/2015

                                  No. 14-30437

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 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.
