                                                                       Plaintiff—Appellee,

                                             versus

   Nicolas Ramirez-Jimenez,

                                               Defendant—Appellant.
                      ______________________________

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Northern District of Texas
                               USDC No. 3:18-CR-151-2
                      ______________________________

   Before Dennis, Engelhardt, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The attorney appointed to represent Nicolas Ramirez-Jimenez 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). Ramirez-Jimenez has filed a response.

Case: 22-11174      Document: 00516869373           Page: 2    Date Filed: 08/23/2023

                                     No. 22-11174

          The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair
   evaluation of Ramirez-Jimenez’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel;
   we therefore decline to consider the claim and deny it 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 Ramirez-Jimenez’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, Ramirez-Jimenez’s
   claim for ineffective assistance of counsel is DENIED WITHOUT
   PREJUDICE to collateral review, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See
   5th Cir. R. 42.2.
