   United States of America,

                                                                       Plaintiff—Appellee,

                      ______________________________

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                           for the Eastern District of Texas
                                USDC No. 4:21-CR-58-3
                      ______________________________

   Before Higginbotham, Stewart, and Southwick, Circuit
   Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The attorney appointed to represent Angel Rodriguez-Campuzano
   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). Rodriguez-Campuzano has filed a response. The record
   is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of
          _____________________

              This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5.
Case: 23-40080     Document: 00517013098          Page: 2   Date Filed: 12/26/2023

                                   No. 23-40080

   Rodriguez-Campuzano’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we
   therefore decline to consider these claims without prejudice to collateral
   review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014). To the
   extent Rodriguez-Campuzano moves for the appointment of substitute
   counsel, the motion is DENIED. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901,
   902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
          We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein, as well as Rodriguez-Campuzano’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.
