                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                           for the Western District of Texas

   Before King, Higginson, and Willett, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The attorney appointed to represent Bryant Cole Collins seeks 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).
   Collins has filed responses. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow
   us to make a fair evaluation of Collins’s 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 Collinss’s responses. We concur with
   counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for
   appellate review. However, we note that the judgment contains a clerical
   error in that it fails to identify 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(v)(II) as a violated
   statutory provision. The Government will not be prejudiced if the district
   court corrects this omission on remand.
          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. The case is REMANDED to the
   district court for the limited purpose of correcting the judgment to include 8
   U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(v)(II) as a violated statutory provision. See Fed. R.
   Crim. P. 36.
