v.

RAYMOND S. TELLEZ, also known as Raymond Simon Tellez, also known as
Raymond Tellez, also known as Indio, also known as Pato, also known as
Yeska, also known as Simon Tellez,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:13-CR-468-1

Before DENNIS, CLEMENT, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Raymond S. Tellez 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).
Tellez has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us
to make a fair evaluation of Tellez’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel,

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 17-51104    Document: 00514685619     Page: 2   Date Filed: 10/17/2018

                                 No. 17-51104

to the extent that these claims are not barred by his appeal waiver; 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 Tellez’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.
