v.

CHRISTY MCCELLON, also known as 90,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 3:14-CR-367-33

Before WIENER, HIGGINSON, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Christy McCellon 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).
McCellon has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow
us to make a fair evaluation of McCellon’s claims of ineffective assistance of
counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without prejudice to

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

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 McCellon’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. McCellon’s motion for the appointment of new counsel is
DENIED.
