                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Northern District of Texas
                                USDC No. 4:23-CR-4-3
                      ______________________________

   Before Higginbotham, Stewart, and Southwick, Circuit
   Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The attorney appointed to represent Carlos Eduardo Plata-Ybarra 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). Plata-Ybarra has filed a response. The record is not
   sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Plata-Ybarra’s
          _____________________

                                    No. 23-10622

   claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider
   the 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 Plata-Ybarra’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.
