                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:14-CR-76-1

Before DAVIS, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Abraham Macias-
Ochoa 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). Macias-Ochoa has filed responses. The record is not
sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Macias-Ochoa’s
claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

claims 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 Macias-Ochoa’s responses.          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.
